About Me
I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2003 having completed a rigorous process of training and supervised practice with individuals and groups across a range of issues and across the life span. Since then I have specialised in adult mental health and continued to develop my skills across a range of therapeutic models. I have over 20 years experience of providing psychological therapy with people from all walks of life, with the purpose in mind of supporting people to reach their full potential, despite internal and external challenges.
Qualifications
I obtained my doctorate in clinical psychology (DClin Psych) from the University of Surrey in 2003. I have continued to develop my training and skills, particularly in the field of 3rd wave CBT approaches (Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Committment Therapy), Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and EMDR.
Individual Therapy
Over the past few years I have worked increasingly as a psychologist in independent practice. I am passionate about supporting people to live a valued, meaningful and fullfilling life. I take the approach that everyone (whatever their challenges) has the capacity to resolve their own difficulties, with the right kind of guidance.
Like any good therapist, I will not try to tell you what to do, or claim that I have all the answers. This is your journey, and I'm here to be your guide and navigator through whatever challenges life throws at you. For more information about therapies provided click here.
Bespoke Psychological Consultation and Training
Throughout my career I have provided psychological consultation to teams and organisations regarding mental health in various ways (such as understanding what's driving certain behaviours in complex clients, staff support groups, understanding team dynamics or organisational issues). I also have extensive experience of providing high quality workshops focusing on understanding mental health issues, awareness raising and workplace wellbeing programmes. If you, or your organisation are interested in finding out what I can offer, then please contact me to discuss your needs.
