I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) recognised practitioner with over 25 years of experience working with adults in the NHS.

I now have a small private practice offering spaces for face to face/online therapy or clinical supervision. I am fully insured and registered with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), I hold an Enhanced DBS Certificate, and I receive regular clinical supervision from an HCPC Registered Clinical Psychologist.

It can be daunting embarking on therapy but in my experience when feelings are fully acknowledged, and worked through in a safe space, it becomes possible to move towards a more centred, calmer and less reactive way of being with ourselves, others, and the world.

As a first step, please contact me by email or telephone for a free 15-minute conversation to see whether the therapy I offer might be of help to you.

At our initial meeting we can then explore the areas of your life you want to address in more depth, building an understanding of how difficulties may have arisen, and what might be maintaining them. This will help guide what form of therapy may suit you best. This meeting will also give you an opportunity to ask further questions, get more of a sense of how I work, and whether what I can offer feels like a good fit for you.

We can then draw out a provisional plan for our work together, including number and frequency of sessions, and any specific goals you may have. Therapy can bring up strong emotions so we will take care to pace sessions in a way that does not become overwhelming.
