I specialise in ADHD and Autism, Addiction ( alcohol, substances, porn and sex) and sexual abuse.
We are all influenced by the people in our lives and the experiences we have had both past and present, all of which serve to shape and define us. Sometimes we need help in understanding how the culmination of these factors can get in the way of being able to live life fully and with ease. Maybe you're looking for relief from the pain of anxiety or depression. You could be struggling with life changes or loss. You may want a better relationship with yourself and/or those closest to you. I offer a non-judgemental space in which I can help you to explore your feelings, beliefs and patterns of behaviour.

I am an NHS Consultant Psychologist leading a gambling addiction service.
We could all do with help sometimes. I get it. Our world is imperfect and challenging and there is no way to know what life throws next. You may have experienced a loss or trauma and others around you cannot grasp its magnitude. Or you may have resorted to ways of coping that harm you and cannot break free. Or perhaps you are tired of recurrent disappointments, rejections, criticism that have affected how you feel within yourself and your relationships. Forming a genuine connection with each other in therapy will hopefully make it possible for you to work toward changes or make what you cannot change easier to bear.

As well as working in my own practice I have worked in various settings Such as a busy GP practice and an addictions unit.
My approach is analytical. I also work in brief solution focused models 6 -12 sessions. Brief therapy is useful to explore patterns in relationships which can then provide you with the insight and the tools to make changes to unhealthy relationships.

You can have a life without the chains of addiction but with clarity and transformation.
You may be feeling stuck - you’ve tried to stop using porn or another damaging sexual behaviour but your will power keeps failing and you find yourself going in circles, of secrecy, shame & hopelessness. The behaviours now seem like its taken the wheel and firmly in the driving seat of your life. You may even be wondering how things ever got this far. If you’re in a relationship, it’s probably suffering. Even if no one else knows, you do and what may have started as a bit of fun is now causing you pain. There is hope. Many of our wounds are formed in relationships, so it makes sense that healing should also come through one.

For example, you might notice repeating loops in relationships, find yourself relying on addictions to cope, or be living with the pain of a bereavement.
I have trained at a London psychoanalytic-based service for two years, and at a bereavement counselling service for 18 months. My current academic training and ongoing clinical work continue to deepen my capacity to sit with complex feelings, losses and problematic relationship patterns.
