About Me

I specialise in working with trauma, long-term health conditions, and loss. I'm an experienced psychological therapist offering a safe, confidential space to allow you to explore your thoughts and feelings. I have a doctorate in Counselling Psychology, and â€‹I'm trained in a range of therapeutic approaches including EMDR, CBT, ACT, and compassion focused therapy. I draw on these approaches to tailor the therapy I provide to you based on your needs. This allows me to be flexible in what I offer to help you to gain the most from your sessions with me.

​

I'm a registered practitioner psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). This means I adhere to the standards of professional practice set by this organisation. Alongside my private practice, I work in the NHS with people with long-term health conditions.
