I am a clinical psychologist with over fifteen years of experience working with children, young people and adults, individually and in couples and families, in the NHS and private practice. I help people overcome difficulties with psychological wellbeing, including anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, adjustment to loss and change, and managing relationships and parenting. I also have particular expertise in working with people with physical health problems.

Through my extensive clinical work in physical health as well as mental health care settings I have become particularly interested in the connection between the mind and body. In line with the ever-growing evidence for the benefit of exercise in promoting psychological wellbeing, as well as continuing to provide traditional therapy, I am developing options for clients to have bespoke exercise programmes aimed at improving and maintaining psychological health gains whilst also positively affecting physical health and fitness.

I am highly qualified with an honours degree in Experimental Psychology (BSc Hons), a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (DClinPsy) and extensive additional post-graduate training, including evidence-based psychotherapies such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). I also have extensive experience and training in mindfulness. I am accredited by the Health & Care Professionals Council (HCPC) and have Chartered Practitioner Psychologist Status with the British Psychological Society (BPS). I am currently training for the Level 3 Certificate in Personal Training. This qualification is accredited by the Register for Exercise Professionals (REPS) and recognised by the Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport and Physical Activity (CIMSPA).
