About
I am a registered psychologist and doctor of counselling psychology offering psychotherapy underpinned by a contemporary reading of the most relevant literature. I work from an attachment, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural perspective, integrating these to offer tailored ways of understanding and working with issues that will be unique to each person and set of circumstances. Most of the work happens in the room, though sometimes we might also set things outside of it, where appropriate.
I have most experience working with complex & severe presentations. While not viewing diagnostic categories as the most helpful way of understanding these difficulties, I have worked successfully with people who identify with, or have been labelled with: BPD/EUPD, ADHD, ODD, PTSD, CPTSD, OCD, LD, ASD, anxiety, depression & body dysmorphia.
Our first session is for you to get a feel for me and whether this is likely to be the right relationship and approach for you. We could call these ‘assessment’ sessions and I will likely ask you to fill in some forms in addition to our face to face meeting.
