About Me

I’m a Chartered Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and accredited by the British Association for Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP), committed to providing a safe, compassionate, and collaborative therapeutic space. I aim to empower clients to explore their experiences and develop effective strategies for navigating life’s challenges with resilience and confidence.

I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Oxford, alongside a First Class Honours degree in Psychology from Lancaster University and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Sciences from University College London. I’m dedicated to ongoing professional development and actively engage with evidence-based approaches across a range of psychotherapeutic models to ensure my practice remains informed, flexible, and effective.

In addition to my private practice, I work within the NHS in occupational health, supporting the psychological wellbeing of both clinical and non-clinical staff as they navigate the unique pressures of their roles.

Every day, I’m inspired by the strength and resilience my clients show, and by the human capacity for growth, adaptation, and change. It’s a privilege to support people through some of their most difficult moments and to witness the progress that’s possible with the right support.

My Approach

I take a curious, compassionate, and collaborative approach to therapy, tailoring the work to meet each client’s individual needs and circumstances. I integrate a range of evidence-based therapeutic models to support meaningful and lasting change, drawing on the strengths of each approach to offer flexible and thoughtful care.

The main approaches I draw from include:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) – A structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people understand how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected. CBT is particularly effective for a wide range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety and depression.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) – This approach supports people in developing a more understanding and supportive relationship with themselves. It’s particularly helpful when self-criticism, shame, or low self-worth are part of someone’s experience.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – ACT focuses on helping individuals build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult emotions and thoughts, clarifying personal values, and committing to actions that align with those values.
Chairwork Psychotherapy – A creative and emotionally rich method that uses dialogue between different parts of the self to deepen insight, process complex emotions, and resolve inner conflicts. It can be particularly effective in working with trauma, self-criticism, and relational difficulties.
Systemic Family Therapy – This approach explores how family, social, and relational dynamics influence a person’s emotional wellbeing. It can be especially valuable when working with patterns that emerge in relationships or across generations.

By integrating these approaches, I offer a holistic and personalised therapy experience. My aim is to create a safe space where you feel heard, respected, and supported as we explore your experiences together, at a pace that feels right for you.
