About me
I offer assessment, formulation and evidence based psychological intervention to adults, adolescents and couples. I approach therapy with a compassionate, authentic, non-judgemental stance.
I am experienced in working with a broad range of clinical presentations including anxiety (e.g. generalised anxiety, social anxiety, health anxiety, OCD) and depression as well as supporting people through difficult life circumstances (e.g. divorce, bereavement, stress and burnout) and ill health (e.g. MS, persistent pain, cancer, etc). I offer neurodiversity-affirming therapy for autistic, ADHD and otherwise neurodivergent people
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience working primarily in the NHS, but also charity, research and private settings supporting people experiencing a range of psychological difficulties. I draw on a number of evidence based models and ideas to inform my practice. I am especially passionate about CBT and its third wave approaches including ACT and Compassion Focused Therapy. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing Therapy) which can be helpful for addressing issues related to trauma.
