Who I Support
I work with children, young people, adults, and older adults experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma, self-esteem issues, relationship difficulties and challenges related to neurodiversity.

How I Work
I believe therapy should be both evidence-based and deeply human. I create a safe, thoughtful space where clients feel heard and supported, to discover ways to connect to a life that they want to live. I draw on evidence-based approaches, including:

  • Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT)
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
  • Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

Professional Background and Qualifications
I am an HCPC-registered Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of NHS experience across primary and secondary care, inpatient services, and specialist trauma services.

Beyond the Therapy Room
I value kindness and compassion in all aspects of life. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time outdoors and in the ocean, as well as connecting with friends and family.

Ready to Get Started?
If you’re struggling with trauma, anxiety, low mood, or you feel at a stuck point in life, I can help you find ways to move forward.
