About me
I am a Principal Clinical Psychologist working in both a specialist mental health NHS service and in private practice since 2007. I offer a range of psychological therapies, supervision, consultation, teaching and training online and face to face from a consulting room in Soho, London.
I am registered with the Health & Care Professions Council (HCPC) and have worked in the NHS for over 16 years with people who are experiencing a variety of mental health problems and psychological difficulties.
Training, qualifications & experience
I hold a Bachelor of Science Honours degree in Psychology and Sociology from Oxford Brookes University which is recognised by the British Psychological Society. I achieved my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Sheffield in 2012.
I am registered as an accredited DBT Therapist with the Society of DBT UK and have a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) from Bangor University.
I integrate DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation Therapy (EMDR) to provide a tailored psychological intervention for my clients.
Member organisations
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The HCPC are an independent, UK-wide health regulator. They set standards of professional training, performance and conduct for 16 professions.
They keep a register of health professionals who meet their standards, and they take action if registered health professionals fall below those standards. They were created by a piece of legislation called the Health Professions Order 2001.
Registration means that a health professional meets national standards for their professional training, performance and conduct.

I believe everybody will go through a struggle at least once in their life - whether it be due to a bereavement, childhood difficulties, depression, post traumatic stress or OCD, these difficulties are often very understandable and my role is to work with people and to help them make sense of these difficulties, how they started, what keeps them going and what can help break common patterns. I have experience in providing high quality evidence-based psychological interventions as recommended by the National Institute for Health & Care Excellence (NICE) for the following difficulties:
- Stress
- Worry
- Depression and low mood
Anxiety (including panic attacks, phobias, OCD, agoraphobia, health anxiety and social anxiety) - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Grief and bereavement
- Relationship Difficulties
- Low self esteem and confidence
- Anger
- Self harm
