I worked for over 15 years as a psychologist within the NHS with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, depression, grief, stress, relationship struggles, emotional difficulties and eating disorders.
Many people struggle with mental health difficulties at different times in their lives and can feel like it’s hard to make sense of this, and my goal is to help people to understand and improve their mental health. I'm a qualified Senior Clinical Psychologist and Cognitive Analytic Therapist (CAT). I love using CAT and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) to help people gain an understanding of the way they relate to themselves and those around them and why they may struggle with this at times, and to help them to learn how to make changes to these patterns and find alternate ways of approaching different situations.
