Email meAbout me
I enjoy providing psychological talking therapies to adults, couples, parents, young people and children, and families for help with relationship, mental health problems and emotional difficulties.
I also specialise in providing diagnostic assessments for autistic spectrum disorders including Asperger syndrome.
I write regularly for the Canadian based on-line magazine, The Mindful Word, about psychology, mindfulness and spirituality.
I often say to clients therapy should be helpful, and I ask my cleints to consider this question as we move along.
Training, qualifications & experience
My approach is informed by a range of therapeutic interventions including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness, Person-Centred Therapy and Couple Therapy.
I an registered with the Health and Care Professionals Council (HCPC) as a Clinical Psychologist with 17 years experience of providing assessment and psychological therapies.
I work in private practice and for the NHS where I work for a psychological therapies team within a Community Mental Health Team (CMHT). I have previously worked for children’s services within the NHS where I often specialised in providing diagnostic assessments for autism and Asperger syndrome in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), a Child Development Centre and a Neuro-Developmental Service.
