About me
Hello, I'm Tom. I am a clinical psychologist and have worked in mental health settings for over 15 years, including the NHS and universities. I specialise in providing psychological therapy. I can help you with mental health problems or general life difficulties that you may be experiencing.
I have particular experience with the following issues (but not an exhaustive list):
- Depression & low mood
- Low self-esteem and confidence
- Social anxiety
- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
- Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
- 'Personality disorders'
- Excessive worries and Generalised Anxiety Disorder
- Panic attacks
- Body image concerns & Body Dysmorphia Disorder (BDD)
- Health anxiety
- LGBTQ+ Mental Health
I use a cognitive behavioural approach to help people with their problems. This is because it has the most research evidence of effectively helping people. Also, I have learnt from clinical experience that targeting an issue and trying new behaviours is the key to change. We do this all collaboratively; you control and set what we do. I aim for a safe space where you feel you can speak about anything that is bothering you. Additionally, I integrate schema therapy and dialectical behaviour therapy elements when problems feel "deeper" and could be useful.
I've worked in the NHS at South London & Maudsley and Camden & Islington, focusing on personality disorders, depression, trauma, and anxiety. I also worked at King's College London in mental health support. My academic roles included teaching on clinical and counselling psychology doctorates at the University of Surrey and the University of East London. I've been a Clinical Research Associate at University College London for a CBT for depression trial. Currently, I serve as a lecturer in clinical psychology at Royal Holloway, University of London, and I am also a visiting researcher at UCL's Division of Psychiatry.
