About me
I’m a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience across private practice and the NHS, working with a range of psychological difficulties often in averse circumstances. I believe the key to success in therapy is finding someone who you feel safe and yourself with, alongside using the right tools that fit within your life and ethos.

Who I Support
Adults, young people, and children (full age range)

Common concerns
I work with various conditions including but not limited to anxiety, depression, work stress, perfectionism, self-esteem, trauma.

Areas of clinical interest
Physical health conditions (headache, migraine, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, MS, diabetes, visible difference), including support for families and carers.

How I Work
I primarily make use of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I believe therapy should be a space where you feel safe enough to explore your emotions whilst also allowing you to develop a sense of moving forward from one week to the next. I hope to be personable and approachable in therapy, and aim to ensure you feel empowered and confident to cope through the tools we build together in therapy. My approach recognises that we cannot always change the circumstances in our lives, but that we can find a way to move forward through them and regain our sense of self and quality of life.
