About Me and My Work

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist Chartered by the British Psychological Society, accredited by the BABCP, and regulated by the HCPC.

I have worked in the NHS for 14 years, and have been in private practice for 9 years. I continue to work in partnership and as associate with Efficacy Ltd. My approach to psychological therapy is informed by loss, traumatic experiences and gender, within the context of culture and society.

How I Work

I use the breadth of my knowledge as a Clinical Psychologist that incorporates ideas from a wide range of psychological theories and practices. I work primarily within a Cognitive Behavioural model that is informed by other valuable, and useful psychological theories, such as attachment theory (our relationship style, primarily learned in our early years). I am passionate about working with people in a transparent and collaborative way, within the context of an authentic therapeutic relationship. My therapeutic style has been described as firm and compassionate.

The therapeutic relationship is an environment in which we can learn new skills and overcome difficulties that can then be implemented outside of the therapeutic space. It can help us to make changes in the way we respond to others in our day-to-day life, which is often a source of distress.

I specialise in Trauma informed and focused psychological therapy. I can provide therapy for a wide range of difficulties and dilemmas. Please do get in touch to discuss your needs and hopes.
