Experiencing mental health difficulties, trauma or other significant psychological
challenges can be incredibly frightening and isolating, and I understand how difficult this can be.

At times of crisis, psychological distress often contributes to feelings of overwhelm, making it seem
impossible to find solutions, or to feel able live a fulfilling life. I work alongside people to find the right
solutions to overcome their challenges to alleviate distressing symptoms and to reduce suffering.

I use a non-judgemental and empathic approach when working with people who struggle with
difficulties such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem or the impact of trauma. My immediate aim is
to collaborate with my clients such that they feel listened to, understood and hopeful about their
future.

 

My Mission 
My interest in becoming a psychologist started when I was young and working with
people with learning disabilities in a residential setting. I witnessed the inadequate
and often unjust treatment that people received, which fuelled within me a
commitment to meaningfully improve the lives of those who need psychological
support and guidance. I returned to education in psychology to pursue a career as a

clinical psychologist. I now enjoy specialising in individual therapy, providing collaborative,

empathic and compassionate care to help individuals heal and thrive. My unique approach

integrates Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness based

practices to address the root causes of various psychological challenges. As a dedicated

mindfulness practitioner, I have experienced first-hand how these practices can transform

and enrich life. My mission is to empower clients to reclaim their lives and achieve lasting 
well-being, resilience and mastery through a personalised and solution-focused approach.
 

Experience and Models used 
I am a Senior HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, with over 15 years experience
of working within the NHS with a wide range of clinical presentations. I am trained in
a range of evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Mindfulness Based Cognitive
Therapy (MBCT), Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Cognitive
Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Compassion Focussed Therapy (CFT).

I use these approaches in an integrative manner, led by a formulation which recognises

the importance of tailoring interventions to each person’s unique circumstances.

I collaboratively encourage my clients to identify their aims and goals for their treatment,

establishing a strong therapeutic relationship based on safety and trust.
