I am a registered psychologist dedicated to empowering adults and young people with learning disabilities, neurodiversity, and mental health conditions. With over 15 years of experience in NHS mental health services, I offer tailored support for psychological challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma and adjustment difficulties. I use evidence-based therapies to provide, personalized and compassionate care. I offer a warm and non judgmental space, where individuals feel safe to explore their emotions and work toward greater well-being and fulfilment.
I work integratively, using a range of psychological models, including ACT, CFT, DBT and CBT. I also have additional training working systemically with families and carers.
My approach is rooted in compassion and curiosity, aimed at supporting the development of a rich, full, and meaningful life.
