Welcome to my practice. I am a Health Psychologist with experience from the NHS and private practice. I support people with illnesses such as Inflammatory Bowel Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Fibromyaglia and other inflammatory and autoimmune conditions. I can also support with sleep problems, fatigue, low mood and anxiety.
I have experience delivering therapy with adults and young people. I can support you to get back to living the life you want, by helping you take control of the things that you can and to help you live a life which is meaningful to you.
I can help by listening and by understanding together what the challenges are that are you currently facing. For example, this could be with worry, sleep, exercise and general well-being. We will work together to decide the areas in your life that are important to you, and I will help you develop skills in managing difficult thoughts, feelings and emotions.
I understand how upsetting, stigmatising and humiliating it is to feel dismissed. If you are finding it hard to cope and live the life you want with physical or mental health issues, please do get in touch. Health Psychologists are trained in supporting people to adapt to, cope and manage illness. I offer remote therapy sessions.
