About Me

My Qualifications and Experience:

• Professional Doctorate in Clinical Psychology

• BSc (Hons) Degree in Psychology with Clinical Psychology

• Diploma in the Care and Development of Young People

• EMDR therapist

• Registered Psychologist Practitioner with the Health and Care Professions Council

​

I have worked in clinical settings since 1997 and have a wide range of experience in working therapeutically with people of all ages. I have experience of working both in the NHS and in the private sector, in a range of settings including Counselling Services, Psychological Therapy Services, Mental Health Community Teams, Residential Homes, Hospitals and Parenting Assessment Centres.

​

I help people who experience difficulties such as low mood/depression, worrying/anxiety, stress, including work related stress, phobias, panic, post-traumatic stress disorder, low self-esteem, anger, sleep difficulties, bereavement and loss, driving anxiety.

​

As a Clinical Psychologist, I am able to use a variety of therapy models including Psychodynamic approaches, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and EMDR. My aim is to work with clients to increase their emotional wellbeing and help them feel better, and stay better, for longer.

​

I adopt an honest, straight talking yet compassionate approach where I aim to work collaboratively with people, to help them achieve their goals. I always tell my clients that therapy is not a "magic wand" to “cure” all difficulties but working together in a non judgemental, motivating and supportive way, using evidence based models of therapy, can help to resolve some of the difficulties they are experiencing.
