About me

I specialise in working with people who have experienced stress and the impact of adverse life events, this includes working with childhood trauma and domestic violence as well as working with conditions such as anxiety, stress and depression, and issues such as attachment, self-esteem & adult personality. As a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and a qualified Systemic Psychotherapist I also provide psychological assessments and reports and offer therapy for a wide range of issues related to mental health and wellbeing.

I work primarily with adults over 18 years of age, as well as working with couples and families where appropriate. I use a range of therapeutic approaches and techniques dependent upon the needs of individual clients. These include cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) as well systemic approaches such as narrative, attachment narrative and solution-focused therapy.

I have 18 years’ experience of working in the NHS in both mental health and physical health settings. This involved working with people experiencing enduring mental health conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, attachment issues and psychosis as well as working with those affected by persistent physical symptoms and acquired brain injuries.

Since 2015 I have been providing psychological assessment and therapy in the private sector and i have worked as the Clinical Director of Eden Psychology since January 2017. Private clinical consultations are provided in a comfortable, confidential setting to people who self-refer and for those referred by their doctor, employer, solicitor, insurance company or the courts. I am registered with AXA & Aviva private medical insurance providers and work with many occupational health providers
