I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the HCPC. I am also a BABCP-accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist, with additional training in systemic approaches with AFT, and in Clinical Neuropsychiatry. Alongside my private practice, I have worked within NHS and European public healthcare services since 2019. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, low mood, trauma, pain, sleep problems, or feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. I often work with people navigating change - whether this follows diagnosis, injury, or life event, or reflects a quieter sense that something no longer feels as it once did.

The people who come to us arrive with the full range of adult difficulty — anxiety that has been wearing them down, depression, the after-effects of trauma, relationships that are not working, neurodivergent adults, LGBTQIA+ clients looking for genuinely affirming practice, and senior professionals carrying pressure they cannot put down anywhere else. What our team of more than 90 qualified counsellors and therapists offers is something specific: deliberate matching. You are not assigned to whoever happens to be available. You are matched to the practitioner whose training, specialism, and approach actually fit your needs.

People seek psychotherapy because they might be worried about something, they might feel upset, distressed, feeling that something has gone wrong in their life, feeling stuck or have lost meaning in life. They look for someone to share their problems with, and talking to a psychotherapist can be helpful; someone who is trained to listen, to think in a sensitive way and to help finding other ways to deal with those problems.

I am passionate about helping clients intercept 'stuck' cycles by finding new ways of adjusting and coping. Many of the clients that I work with find themselves struggling with life demands or what the World Health Organisation (WHO) typically defines as 'burn-out' (ICD-10). Quite often they feel overwhelmed, depleted and unable to find an obvious solution to their problem. They find themselves chronically ruminating about the past or worrying about the future, leading to vicious cycles of depression and anxiety. These clients require a specialised therapist who can offer brief, effective treatment.

I am registered with AXA, Aviva, and WPA.
I work with adults who have a sense that something isn’t quite right, even when life looks fine on the outside. They often second-guess themselves, replay conversations, feel responsible for others, or notice the same patterns showing up in their relationships and in how they see themselves. Many have spent years trying to “figure themselves out” but still feel stuck or unsure of who they are. In therapy, we slow things down, make sense of these patterns, and build a more understanding, compassionate relationship with yourself, so life feels more like your own.

I specialise in anxiety, (including OCD), perinatal mental health, and trauma leading to attachment/relationship struggles. You might find yourself stuck in a loop of anxiety, or have thoughts that you feel too embarrassed to share. Maybe you have to force yourself out of bed, only to have another day that’s miserable. You might feel you’ve reached a stagnant point in life, feel anxious in your relationships, or maybe you’re going through huge change, like a break up or having a baby. Many people reach out to me to start therapy facing these problems. My aim is that you leave therapy feeling in control, happier, and understood

We tend to suffer from anxiety, stress, and depression for too long before reaching for help, which can lead to unnecessary suffering. It takes courage to start therapy, and it takes courage to confront our problems. ‍ What I offer you is a calm and supportive environment in which you will be able to deal with any difficulties you are experiencing, with the professionalism that you deserve.

I am one of a small number of practitioners in the UK who is dually qualified as a chartered psychologist and a clinical sexologist/sex therapist. My clients may seek help for a specific sexual difficulty such as desire or arousal concerns; or may experience broader distress such as anxiety, low self esteem or perfectionism which also manifests in their sexual and relational world. My specialist interest in sexual difficulties emerged naturally from my interdisciplinary background of psychology and physiology.
