About me
Are you an individual, couple or family navigating change, illness, grief, or separation? Perhaps you are struggling with parenting after a loss or a traumatic experience? You may be recovering from an abusive relationship, or living with the effects of racial trauma? Perhaps you are finding yourself in relationships that leave you feeling stuck, anxious or low in mood? If so, I can offer specialist psychological therapy that could make a difference. I am a HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years' experience, supporting people of all ages through recovery and growth after transitions or traumatic experiences.
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 systemic, psychodynamic, CAT and Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET) for trauma. I also offer specialist assessments and make recommendations for appropriate next steps.
In therapy, my focus is on helping you understand your difficulties and ways of coping, in the context of your unique experiences, identities, and socio-cultural realities, with attention to patterns in your relationships, both with yourself and others. Exploring these together, with warmth and a lack of judgement, as well as building on your existing strengths and resources, can enable new perspectives, 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.
