My professional experience:

I have worked in a number of NHS settings since 2005, working with children and adolescents, as well as adults. I also have a private practice in Harley Street and in Liverpool Street. I believe in a client centred approach to the work that I do, respecting my client’s own understanding of their difficulties, and finding joint solutions.

My personal statement:

As a clinical psychologist, my training allows me to borrow from a wide range of approaches, helping me to tailor-fit my approach. I tend to integrate a range of CBT, Mindfulness, Narrative and System/Psychodynamic approaches, helping people to manage their symptoms, as well as to gain a deeper understanding of the meaning of their difficulties.

I believe in offering a lifespan approach, working with young people as well as adults. I work with a range of presentations including: anxiety, depression and OCD. I also have a specialist interest in more deep rooted difficulties, such as when a person struggles to form and maintain healthy and stable relationships.

Additional information about my research, publications and interests:

I have presented at conferences and have a keen interest in workplace difficulties, helping individuals, teams and organisations to get unstuck.

I have been involved in forensic and neuropsychological research, and have been published in a number of academic journals.
