Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or trapped in cycles of low mood, anxiety, or burnout? You may be struggling to make sense of past trauma and how it shapes your challenges today. Together we will equip you with the skills to improve your mental well-being and overall quality of life. As a practitioner psychologist my skillset spans a variety of domains. I currently carry out private psychological therapy work (adults), Autism diagnostic assessments for adults/children/young people, core needs assessments for children/young people and I have also worked within an inpatient service for individuals with the most acute mental health needs.
At the core of my approach is building the therapeutic relationship - the research tells us a strong therapeutic relationship contributes to successful outcomes. I work with all adults with various mental health challenges, and have specialist experience in neurodevelopmental conditions (Autism/ADHD) having worked extensively within a specialist ND service.
Getting started with therapy can be daunting. So I am here to guide you through the process and welcome email enquiries and/or an initial free 15 minute consultation to discuss any queries you may have. All video therapy sessions are conducted through Sessions, which is a secure online platform through Psychology today.

My core model is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), which has an extensive evidence base for numerous conditions. I also utilise "third wave" CBT approaches such as compassion focused therapy (CFT). CFT is rooted within scientific disciplines including neuroscience, social and evolutionary psychology. CFT aims to increase self compassion, alleviate distress and build emotion regulation skills.
