About me
Hi, I'm a Clinical Psychologist and UK and Europe Accredited EMDR Practitioner with over 20 years experience working in the NHS and private practice. I work with adults with a range of psychological difficulties including anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, chronic pain, adjustment to changes in health, weight management and fitness, relationship difficulties, postnatal depression/anxiety, grief, trauma and stress. I am also a specialist in health anxiety.
Trained in Attachment Therapies, I am passionate about helping people to recover from relationship loss, date wisely and build healthy, happy, secure relationships with others.
I offer timely, evidence-based psychological intervention that is individually tailored to your needs. I am trained in a variety of therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), Compassion-Focused Therapy and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP). Together we will explore the underlying triggers for your difficulties and will set achievable goals that will lead to lasting, meaningful change.
My comfortable therapy suite offers a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space to discuss the difficulties that you are experiencing. You can choose between seeing me in-person or online.
Contact me today so that we can arrange a free, confidential telephone consultation. We can discuss your difficulties and decide together whether psychological intervention will be helpful and what options are available to you.
