I trained in Psychology after an early career in media, wishing to work closely with people and the difficulties that they are experiencing in their lives. I understand mental health and well-being difficulties as serious challenges that can be changed with the right psychological support. As a Counselling Psychologist, I’ve had therapy and valued it enormously for the experience that I gained.

My professional experience is within NHS primary and secondary services (children and adult), the MOD working with military-service men and women, and the community voluntary sector.

My approach is to personalise therapy for each young person or adult that I am entrusted to work with; we are not all the same. I use contemporary and evidence-based approaches; CBT in many forms including ‘Early Intervention’, Narrative, Person-Centred, and multiple trauma approaches including EMDR. My role as a professional is to support informed therapy choices that people must make for their goals to be realised. I also understand the value of a good therapeutic relationship – a fundamental for any effective therapy experience.
