I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience working in various NHS services, supporting adults, young people, and their families with a range of psychological difficulties, across different roles.

I have worked extensively within both Adult Mental Health and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, supporting individuals experiencing a variety of psychological difficulties, including:

• Anxiety, including social anxiety, phobias, and OCD

• Depression

• Interpersonal trauma

• Paranoia or fear of harm from others

• PTSD, including Complex PTSD and attachment trauma

• Unusual experiences such as hearing, seeing, or feeling things others cannot (psychosis)

• Unwanted intrusive memories or flashbacks

• Perfectionism/striving behaviours

• Autism

• Carers of dementia

I have a particular interest and specialist expertise in working with anxiety difficulties and trauma. You may wish to see me if your difficulties are disrupting your life and/or you are having difficulty connecting with what truly matters to you.

How I Like to Work

I work collaboratively with you to help explore your current difficulties, taking the stance of ‘what has happened to you’ and ‘how you made sense of it’ rather than ‘what is wrong with you.’ Together we will develop a shared understanding of your difficulties, explore a path to change, and work together to create the change you seek.

The Therapy Approaches I Use

I work flexibly and collaboratively with my clients, drawing upon a range of evidence-based approaches. Primarily, I utilise Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Additionally, I integrate concepts and principles from Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and Systemic Approaches to understand the impact of a person's environment and the contextual factors that may be involved in their difficulties.

My Credentials and Registration

I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU). I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), and my registration number is PYL043819.

I have worked in several NHS Trusts across London and Kent and have been an author on academic research papers. In addition to my clinical work, I have facilitated workshops and taught on the Clinical Psychology Programme at the Salomons Institute for Applied Psychology, Canterbury Christ Church University (CCCU).
