About me
Therapy can be a daunting but enriching experience, and I hope that I can help you improve your well-being! I pride myself on making sessions affordable, informative, practical, reflective, challenging, and life-affirming. I will also give you ideas and exercises for in-between sessions, which is where a lot of the change happens. I am integral and compassionate and will only offer strategies and new ways of thinking that I would welcome for myself. And regardless of whichever issues we work on together, I will always include more 'existential' questions about your values, purpose, joy, creativity and connections within your life. I hope that working together we will be able to satisfy my favourite question of all: "Am I living the most meaningful life I can right now?"
I am a qualified Clinical Psychologist, working online, and have broad experience in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I work with children, adolescents, adults and couples.
I have experience treating: work and general life issues, anger, anxiety (including panic attacks, social anxiety, generalised anxiety disorder, health anxiety, OCD and pure / moral OCD, low self-esteem), feeling sad / depression, procrastination, and noise-related problems (tinnitus, hyperacusis and misophonia). I further specialise in PTSD / trauma.
I also offer support for LGBT issues, sexual health problems (e.g. erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation etc) and broader relationship difficulties.
I have worked in the NHS and abroad with people from all over the world.
There are many benefits of online therapy. In our fast-paced and busy lives, working together online means that therapy can be flexible, not just in terms of when but where.
Online therapy is safe: I am bound to the same rules of managing privacy and confidentiality as any other therapy. I always work integrally and compassionate, am directive and offer strategies as well as space to reflect together, and believe it important to review our progress throughout.
Please contact me to organise an initial assessment session.
Training, qualifications & experience
I completed the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at University College London, and am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
I have extensive experience using CBT, ACT, EMDR and trauma-focused therapies.
I will always suggest an initial assessment appointment so that we can understand your goals for therapy, and that I can suggest a plan that will be best suited to your requirements.
Please contact me for more information.
