I am a HCPC registered Forensic Psychologist with over 8 years experience working in specialist mental health settings within the NHS. Much of my work within the NHS has involved working with complex trauma and relationship difficulties. My areas of expertise include trauma/PTSD and associated coping behaviours including addictions, self-harm and other behavioural issues. I will provide a non-judgmental, thoughtful and reflective space in which we can explore current problems and identify patterns of relating.

My approach is broadly integrative, drawing on several evidence-based models of therapy including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am also trained in delivering Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for PTSD and other problems.
I realise that starting therapy can be daunting, and that sometimes problems can feel complex and overwhelming. I believe that psychological distress and suffering are very difficult but universal human experiences which can at times feel lonely and hopeless. I will work with you to build compassion, hope and understanding for your struggles.
