Hello, I’m Andrea, a Clinical Psychologist with over 16 years of experience working across the NHS and private practice. I specialise in supporting children, young people, and parents who are facing life’s challenges, feeling stuck, or wanting things to change. I offer a warm, creative and non-judgemental space to make sense of the difficulties and move forwards in a way that feels meaningful.
I support with themes such as anxiety, mood, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and identity. I’m also deeply interested in parent wellbeing — particularly in supporting parents as they begin/navigate the many transitions of parenting.
A large part of my clinical work has been at Great Ormond Street Hospital, working across several paediatric psychology teams and intensive care. I have specialist experience in supporting young people living with physical health conditions, and working with families where someone has experienced a brain injury.
My therapeutic practice is grounded in the current evidence, and I am passionate about narrative and systemic ideas. This means understanding difficulties within the context of people’s relationships, stories, and strengths — helping them to build meaning, connection, and resilience. I warmly welcome a free call to see if we're a good fit.
