I offer a therapeutic space that is warm and neuroaffirmative, where clients can explore the origins of their emotional distress, develop compassionate coping skills and reduce patterns of suffering. My work is grounded in a deep respect for each individual's lived experience.
I am a Chartered Psychologist who supports children, young people and adults. I hold a Doctorate in Educational, Child and Adolescent Psychology and have undertaken specialist training in Compassion-Focused Therapy for Trauma and EMDR. Over the past ten years, I have worked across healthcare, educational and organisational contexts.
I provide:
• Therapeutic support for adults and children, with particular experience in working with anxiety, shame and trauma
• Psychological consultations supporting parents to better understand and respond to their child’s needs
• Cognitive assessments and reports which are strengths-based and neuroaffirmative, to support educational planning
I understand that reaching out for psychological support can feel daunting. I aim to create a space where people feel comfortable and safe. I am based in the University Quarter, and work flexibly to offer remote or in-person sessions in recognition of the busy lives many of us lead.
