About me
I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years' experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I support people of all ages navigating anxiety and low mood; illness or grief; difficult life transitions, relationship problems or to recover from recent or historic traumatic experiences. Furthermore, I offer specialist assessments and make recommendations for appropriate next steps and ongoing support.
In therapy, I work with you to understand your difficulties and ways of coping in the contexts of your unique life experiences, identities and wider circumstances. I also help explore any patterns in your relationships, both with yourself and others, and if those help or hinder your ability to live your life in line with your hopes and values.
Training, qualifications & experience
Having worked across a range of NHS settings and in liaison with other statutory and non statutory agencies with people across their lifespan, I draw on a number of approaches including compassion focused (CFT), systemic, attachment-focused, psychodynamic, cognitive analytic (CAT) and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), to offer psychological support that is tailored to your needs, culturally aware, and builds on your strengths and resources to increase self-awareness, healing, and growth.

Further information
I understand that seeking help might feel nerve-racking, and it can be hard to work out exactly what you need. In the first few sessions, we'll develop a deeper understanding of the difficulties that brought you to therapy and agree on the approach(es) that are likely to be most helpful for you. We might then agree on a certain number of sessions and/or review at regular intervals to ensure that they are supporting your hopes for therapy.
Please email or call me if you would like an initial chat or to book a consultation.
