Hello and welcome to Victory Psychology. I am a consultant clinical psychologist working with Veterans, and adults (16+) experiencing mental health difficulties, covering Dorset, surrounding areas, but mostly I am online. Aswell as having specialist skills in treating combat and civilian PTSD, and complex trauma, I also I treat anxiety disorders, depression, OCD, and peri natal mental health. I also specialise in therapy for those who have sustained brain injury, stroke, life changing injuries and neurological disorders. In addition, I conduct cognitive capacity assessments for legal teams and the court.
Currently I split my time between working in the Ministry of Defence delivering therapy for serving personnel, and running my private practice, Victory Psychology. I provide clinical supervision to CBT therapists and psychologists.
I am primarily working online, meaning that you can access therapy from the comfort of your own home, and without the added pressure of travel to and from the appointment. I work Mondays & Fridays, Tues-Thursdays afternoons and evenings, some evenings and weekends. I may be offering in person sessions near Sturminster Newton in the new year.
