About me

I am an experienced Consultant Clinical Psychologist working within the NHS and private practice. I have a warm and empathic approach and I am incredibly passionate about my work and enabling others in their recovery. I will provide you with a safe and confidential space and work with you using a collaborative and person centred approach.

I offer psychological assessment and psychological therapy for adults.  I have experience working with a range of psychological difficulties which include adjustment, depression, low self-esteem, anxiety disorders, trauma including PTSD, personality difficulties, body image difficulties and psychological difficulties related to physical health conditions.

My main area of specialist interest is supporting those who find themselves childless not by choice.  Being involuntary childless can cause significant emotional distress including trauma, loss and grief, shame and impacts on identity.

I have experience and knowledge of a range of psychological models and I work in an integrative approach drawing from various psychological models including CBT and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).  I am also trained in and provide Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and I am currently undertaking practitioner training in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT)
