About me
As a clinical psychologist, I see clients with a range of difficulties at all levels of severity but I have a strong background in neurodifference (autism and ADHD), neurocognitive (brain injury, functional disorders) and OCD/BDD/phobias and am an LGBTQ+ affirmative practitioner. In addition to treatment, I offer assessment and diagnosis.
I am the Founder of the Psychological Society of Inclusive Intersectional and Queer Communities and a former chair of section for the British Psychological Society. I am also on the General Medical Council's rosta of expert witnesses for fitness to practice tribunals.
Typically I see patients who have been through other treatments, which they may have found useful, but which haven't fully resolved their issues.
I am trained to use a number of approaches and I integrate these with my training as a psychologist to develop a psychological understanding (a formulation) which I test and adjust with my patient.
Training, qualifications & experience
I qualified in 2008 from University College London as a doctor in clinical psychology. I am former Chair of the British Psychological Society (BPS) Section of Sexualities, a former member of the BPS Practice Guideline Review board and the Mental Capacity Advisory Group and WPATH. I am also a listed expert witness for the General Medical Council and have been an expert witness in the civil and criminal courts since 2012. I am founder of the Psychological Society of Inclusive Intersectional and Queer Communities.

Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
Clinical psychologists are trained to work across the lifespan and across all mental health presentations. In addition, we have specialised skills in psychometric assessment (I.Q.) and diagnostics. In addition to my knowledge of psychology, I also have training in CBT, schema therapy, systemic family therapy, DBT and RO-DBT.
Often it is difficult to put your problems into just one box and give it a label. Please drop me an email if you're unsure as to whether I might be able to help.
