About me
*Are you an adult or young person wanting to understand and manage anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties or your experience of a traumatic event?
*Are you an employer wanting to know more about mental health in order to develop your approach to psychological wellbeing?
*Are you a headteacher looking for support with the social and emotional wellbeing of your pupils or staff wellbeing?
*Perhaps you are a GP, a practice manager or a psychiatrist seeking therapy for your patients, or consultation regarding mental health matters?
If so, you may be interested in meeting with an experienced Chartered Psychologist who brings clinical practice to you, without referral pathways and long waiting lists.
I believe that mental health support should reflect a balance between psychological theory and your own understanding of what you need. I therefore work with people to make psychology accessible, understandable and relatable, whilst supporting them to;
- explore their life experiences
- learn to set boundaries and instigate change
- understand themselves and others better
- understand and manage their thoughts, feelings, behaviour and physical sensations
- to feel heard
In my aim to make mental health understandable, I particularly enjoy helping people to understand anxiety, why we need it, how it occurs in the mind and body and how to manage it when it becomes overwhelming.
I take pride in creating a genuine connection with the people that I meet. If you would benefit from a tailored approach to your mental wellbeing, or that of those around you, get in touch today.
