Clinical Psychologist
I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2011. Since then, I have worked in various services in the NHS including a mainstream Child and Adolescent Service (CAMHS), a specialist Adolescent Service as well as a Neurodevelopmental Service supporting families and children after a diagnosis of Autism/ADHD.
In my private work I specialise in working therapeutically with adolescents and young adults. The young people I work with tend to be struggling with difficulties such as low mood, anxiety (including OCD/phobias) and self-harm. I offer a supportive space to help them understand and make sense of the difficulties they are experiencing and manage these through developing new ways of coping.
I draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approaches and I have a particular interest in third wave therapies; Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).
In addition to talking therapy, I have extensive experience providing cognitive assessments for adults in the NHS. In my private practice, I offer cognitive/learning assessments for children and young people aged 6+ years.
