Life can throw us challenges at times where perhaps an outside perspective can help. I'm an experienced Clinical Psychologist and CAT therapist working with adults. I also work in the NHS. I specialise in physical health conditions (e.g. oncology, palliative care, pain, digestive diseases), alongside issues such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship/interpersonal difficulties, loss, adjustment, trauma, life crisis, body image and identity. I'm also interested in issues of diversity and cultural conflict. I work in a collaborative and integrative way to help understand your difficulties and to move towards the change you seek.
I have experience in a range of evidence-based psychological therapies. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Analytical Therapy (CAT), and draw on other therapeutic models and techniques such as Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Gestalt therapy to best meet the client's needs.
I believe it is important to develop a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space for people to feel able to open up. I take a down-to-earth and dynamic approach, and work in an authentic way to ensure that your needs are at the heart of therapy so you can get the most out of our sessions. Please feel free to contact me to see if we are a good fit.
