About me

I am a Counselling Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and with chartered membership of the British Psychological Society. I am a warm and compassionate practitioner who provides a safe and non-judgemental space for therapy. My approach centres around providing the right conditions for you to understand your experience and connect with what’s important to you in your life.

Training, qualifications & experience

I have a wide range of experience providing psychological therapy in various settings including primary care within the NHS, higher education, and third-sector organisations. I have supported people experiencing difficulties around pregnancy, birth and becoming a parent. I also have experience working with those affected by health issues such as cancer. Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as a nurse within the NHS, and have a good understanding of the healthcare system and how illness can affect us psychologically. 

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, working together with my clients to find the best way forward for them. My core therapeutic models are Person-Centred and Experiential Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I also use elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy.
