Clinical Psychologist

I have worked within a variety of NHS clinical services since 2000 and have had my own private practice since 2017. I have gained experience of working with a wide range of clients in both Adult Mental Health Servies and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS).

I use a number of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) and Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) depending on the client’s needs.  I specialise in anxiety and depression, including associated problems such as OCD, panic attacks and self-harm.  I will work towards, not only reducing symptoms, but also improving interpersonal relationships and quality of life.

The therapeutic relationship is at the centre of my practice and I always aim to provide a confidential, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their difficulties, gain more understanding and develop healthier ways of coping.
