My main areas of expertise are in the treatment of mental health conditions such as anxiety (including PTSD and OCD) and depression, as well as in the assessment of ADHD/autism.
I am highly empathic and intuitive and clients describe me as easy to talk to while also providing a structure in sessions to ensure that changes are made in their life (the sessions will not be centered on venting alone).

I am a Clinical supervisor with a social service background and have been working with families for over 20 years. I realise that it can often be difficult for children to understand or express their emotions. This can lead to overwhelming, confusing, or stuck feelings, perhaps resulting in low esteem and struggles with relationships with others, and themselves. I offer a safe and supportive environment where children can express their emotional and relational difficulties by using their natural language of communication, PLAY, with the facilitation of various play and creative materials in the playroom.

Trauma responses, OCD, a phobia or social anxiety might be getting the better of you, or you may have no one to talk to in confidence. How we each feel is unique and experienced individually. I have a personalised approach that is caring, sensitive and you can explore thoughts and feelings without fear of being judged whatever is in your life now or in the past. Together we can manage difficult times in your life, make sense of challenges, understand patterns and find ways to create meaningful positive change.

I am a Chartered Psychologist and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBTI) and Nightmares (CBTN) Therapist.

You don't have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Perhaps you're feeling overwhelmed, navigating a life or career transition, struggling with burnout, or simply sensing that something isn't working as well as it could.
Walk & Talk therapy offers a relaxed alternative to sitting face-to-face in a room, especially if you’ve never had therapy before. Research suggests that being in nature can help conversations flow, bringing clarity, perspective, and a sense of forward movement. People come feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or mentally busy, wanting space to think more clearly - and often find it makes a real difference.

My ideal clients include children, young people, adults, and older adults with disabilities, neurodiversity, and mental health needs, as well as their carers. Many come to me feeling misunderstood, overwhelmed, isolated, or disconnected from themselves and others. They may seek support with anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, identity, relationships, burnout, or life transitions. Alongside talking therapy, I integrate movement and body-based approaches to support emotional regulation, self-expression, processing, and deeper connection to the body

When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioural therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
