Professional approach
Clinical Expertise, Specialist Skills
I have over a decade of experience as a Clinical Psychologist working with patients who have a range of psychological and health difficulties, in clinical, health, forensic, social care and school environments.
I am passionate about helping people to feel supported to function better in their lives – whatever their individual goal is. I strongly believe that therapy is about empowering each individual. I see each client as unique and as having the power to overcome their difficulties, with the right support and guidance.
My role is to listen, support and guide each client to help understand what is triggering and maintaining their difficulties – often our thoughts and how we respond to them can be a big target for the work. Once we have a shared understanding (formulation) of your difficulties I can support you with an individualised, 'one off' support plan to help take steps towards living a life in alignment with your goals and aspirations.
I have extensive experience working therapeutically with children, families, looked after children, adults, people with learning disabilities and elderly populations. I also have specialist experience working within health psychology clinics and neuropsychology services. My broad experience means that I am able to help a variety of different populations experiencing a range of serious and enduring mental health disorders.
I have specialist experience conducting neuropsychological and neurodevelopmental assessments including Autism assessments, ADHD assessments, dementia assessments and providing tailored neuropsychological rehabilitation packages.
Evidence-based Approach
I understand how important it is to use a range of evidence-based Psychological approaches and models to uncover what works best for you and your needs. I believe in offering an empowering collaborative approach to help you to take steps towards meeting your goals and achieving your full potential.

- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

I can offer sessions online using safe and reliable video technology.
If you are a business I am able to support you on your premises, and am able to provide school visits.
Safe and Individualised approach
My approach is professional, confidential and focussed on YOUR goals to help you reach your full potential. I often use coaching principles to create a safe but supportive environment in order to challenge patterns of thinking that may no longer be helpful to wellbeing and productivity.
My approach is collaborative - meaning that you are an active part in the therapy process. My role is to help maximise your potential and facilitate steps towards positive action.
My sessions are lead by YOU: the client. We can explore your goals and stumbling blocks and devise plans to help you live a life in full alignment with you goals and aspirations.
