I am a Clinical Psychologist who works with a range of mental health difficulties including anxiety, phobias, grief and loss, and relationship difficulties. I am particularly experienced in working with people struggling with the effects of trauma from childhood or adulthood, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), Complex PTSD, substance use, and social anxiety. In all my work, I adapt therapy to your needs, including neurodiversity (e.g. ADHD), health issues, and cultural contexts. Alongside my work at ABODE, I work in a specialist trauma service in the NHS, and research social anxiety treatments at University of Oxford.
I place great emphasis on your goals and on working together to meet your needs. My work is informed by principles of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Narrative Exposure Therapy (NET), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Systemic therapy. I am also a BABCP accredited CBT therapist.
I believe that, too often, shame and self-blame can silence people, so I use a non- judgemental, validating, and compassionate approach to help people to understand, cope with, and overcome difficulties.
