I’m a Chartered Principal Clinical Psychologist with over 18 years of NHS experience and a background in leading psychological care for trauma, psychosis, and complex mental health problems. I’m passionate about challenging stigma, supporting people to make sense of their experiences, and finding hopeful paths forward, even when things feel stuck or overwhelming. We will take time to understand what matters to you, work at a pace that feels manageable, and adapt therapy together as your needs change.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and flexible. I work creatively with longstanding difficulties, drawing on evidence based therapies including CBT, EMDR, Compassion Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and schema-informed approaches. I also offer autism and mental health diagnostic assessments, reports and follow up recommendations.
If you would like to know more about how I work, or to ask any questions about how I can support you, please reach out to me. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to all potential clients.
