Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a Registered Chartered Psychologist with over 23 years’ experience of working therapeutically with adults, young people and children in the NHS and private settings. I support clients experiencing a wide range of difficulties, including anxiety; OCD; low confidence; trauma and PTSD and depression. I place great importance on creating a warm, safe and compassionate therapeutic space where you can feel heard and supported. Together we will find ways to help you live a more fulfilling and meaningful life; improve your relationship with yourself; and build on your existing strengths.
In addition to working as a Senior Psychologist, I’ve also worked as a Senior Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Tutor on a postgraduate CBT training programme for 13 years, teaching and supervising therapists in training. I’m trained in CBT; EMDR and trauma based approaches; Exposure and Response prevention (ERP) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
I have a kind and compassionate approach to offering therapeutic support. At the core of my therapeutic work is cultivating a therapeutic relationship that feels safe, containing & non-judgemental. I take great care to work towards developing a shared understanding of your goals, strengths, difficulties, and unique circumstances.

For anxiety difficulties such as OCD & Social Anxiety, I would normally offer around 8-15 sessions with Cognitive Behaviour Therapy. For trauma and PTSD we would use EMDR or trauma-focused CBT. For depression, or struggles with shame or self-criticism, we would use Behavioral activation, ACT, CBT or Compassion Focused Therapy.

I often use CBT; Compassion Focused Therapy and EMDR, but we will develop a tailored therapy plan that is focused on your needs, hopes and goals. At the heart of my practice is developing a safe therapeutic relationship based on trust and respect. I believe a fundamental component that contributes to change is the therapeutic relationship.
