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.

You might look like you’re coping on the outside but feel quietly unsure underneath. A feeling you can’t quite name, patterns you keep finding yourself in, or ongoing anxiety and pressure. You may overthink, be self-critical, hold things in, and put others’ needs before your own. You may carry experiences from earlier life or difficult periods that don’t feel big enough to name, but still affect you day to day. Perhaps there’s a quiet sense that you’re not okay, but not sure you have the right to say so, or you’re adjusting to loss or change that still feels present. Or no clear crisis—just a wish to understand yourself more deeply.
