About me
Who am I?
I am a Counselling Psychologist which means I have been trained to work with people of all ages, with a wide variety of difficulties such as anxiety, panic, depression, stress and relationship problems. Having worked for many years in the NHS and private sector, I am able to offer talking therapies for individuals, couples and families.
I am the founder of High Linden Psychology Services Ltd which offers a bespoke psychology service to you and your family. I work in partnership with you, tailoring the therapy according to your needs.
How do I work?
Please contact me by phone or e-mail and we can have an initial chat about what brings you to seek help and what you are looking for. Usually, I meet with an individual/couple/family for a first session to explore what the problems are. We can try to understand the problems better and discuss whether a talking therapy would be helpful. If we agree, then we can arrange to meet for a number of sessions which can be on a weekly or fortnightly basis.
Along the way we will check in with each other to see how the therapy is going. I try to work with you for as few sessions as possible in reaching your goals and I work closely with other professionals involved in your care if this is helpful.
Talking Therapies I practise
I specialise in providing evidenced based treatment (what we know works) including:
CBT (Cognitive Behaviour therapy) and Systemic/family therapy.
Specialist Support for memory problems and dementia
I have a particular interest in working with older people and their families. I understand that receiving the diagnosis of dementia can be frightening and I can offer post-diagnostic counselling and support.
I understand how demanding a caring role can be and I am able to provide interventions to reduce carer stress and prevent depression and anxiety.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am chartered by the British Psychological Society (BPS) as a Counselling Psychologist and a registered member of the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I am also a qualified Dramatherapist.
Since qualifying in 2003 I have predominantly worked in the NHS holding posts of senior psychologist in specialist services for Ageing and Mental Health. Currently, I am working full time in my private practice in North West London where I treat a broad range of mental health problems with individuals, couples and families across the lifespan.
My preference is working using a systemic therapy approach and I am an accredited systemic practitioner, having completed the Foundation and Intermediate Certificate in Systemic practice. I am also trained in CBT and psychodynamic therapies and draw on these approaches when helpful.
I have been a visiting lecturer on a Doctorate of Clinical Psychology training course since 2010 as well as involved in teaching medical staff in hospital settings for several years. Additionally, I offer consultation and training packages to care homes to support residents, their families and staff.
I offer clinical supervision to psychologist colleagues and other professionals in their practice.
I am recognised as a Specialist provider by BUPA, AVIVA, Vitality, WPA and AXA insurance companies.
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.

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.
