About me
Are you feeling weighed down by low mood, anxiety, or trouble sleeping? Whether these feelings stem from a challenging life event, a major transition like changes in health or employment, or seem to have appeared out of nowhere, it can feel overwhelming. You may even feel stuck, unsure of how to move forward, and disconnected from the things and people that once brought joy and meaning to your life. When life feels this way, it’s easy to withdraw, which can unintentionally deepen those feelings of isolation and helplessness. But it doesn't have to stay this way!
With my clinical experience and compassionate guidance, I use evidence-based approaches to help you understand the root causes of your feelings and take practical steps to reclaim a life that feels fulfilling and aligned with what matters most to you.
If you’re ready to take the first step towards feeling better, I’m here to help. I offer a free 15-minute phonecall to discuss how we can work together and explore whether therapy might be the right fit for you. I look forward to hearing from you and starting this journey together.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Glasgow in 2016 and completed additional training in Clinical Neuropsychology in 2021.
I have NHS experience in adult, older adult, physical health, and neuropsychology services, where I’ve delivered psychological interventions for a variety of challenges, including low mood, anxiety, grief, and adjustment to life or health changes.
I also have worked closely with family carers, guiding them through the unique emotional and practical challenges they may face.
I am registered with the Health & Care Professions Council.
