I am an experienced psychologist in providing psychology therapies and behavioural change/health interventions to promote mental wellbeing and healthy behaviours. I worked in a wide range of psychology contexts including clinical mental health, forensics, health, communities, and universities. My work with the NHS specialises in chronic pain management and other long-term health conditions. Throughout my clinical practice, I specialise in working with people presenting difficulties in mental health and physical health, as well as in major life adjustments/transitions (e.g. bereavement, relationships, settling in a new environment).

While I base this work primarily out of psychodynamic and CBT, I also utilize other forms of therapy.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress, life adjustments, relational issues, or other struggles with mental health, you deserve to be heard and supported. The isolation and confusion can feel overwhelming, but as long as you are dedicated to moving forward there is so much hope and so many possibilities for healing.

Although my understanding of the psychology of human behavior is primarily rooted in a psychodynamic perspective, I often draw on the principals and techniques of various therapeutic modalities such as CBT, DBT, BWRT and Motivational Interviewing so as to best cater to the unique needs and preferences of my individual clients.

Are you struggling with intimacy, sexual confidence, or feeling disconnected from your partner or your own body?

This can be from a combination of how sex was talked about in your household, your sex education, early sexual experiences and unpleasant sexual experiences. Therapy offers a safe and supportive space to explore what’s going on and begin to move forward.
