I offer individual psychological therapies and consultation tailored around your concerns and needs. Most important is a good assessment and then I work with most evidence based therapies models to meet the clients needs. I think that therapy should be short term and goal based. When working with children and young people I find it important to get a good understanding of their passions and that therapy is adjusted and tailored to their developmental needs and goals. My approach is that therapy should be a special space to understand the concerns and symptoms. In therapy we will explore your personal stories and aim together to create positive changes. It should help with getting through the daily struggles on modern life. Good therapy should help you feel more supported, confident and able to deal with everyday challenges. It should reduce the symptoms and increase coping with difficulties. I use integrated model based on the assessment and I am trained in many areas of therapy (Psychodynamic, CBT, DBT, compassionate focused, motivational Interviewing, Systemic and Narrative therapy and so on). All of my work is informed by my clinical practices and understanding of mental health diagnosis and developmental conditions. As a clinical psychologist, we are trained to understand clinical conditions and use the best approach psychological for helping with symptoms or problems.

I have worked in NHS, charities and private practice offering assessments and psychological therapies across most areas of mental health and health services. My background is in neuroscience, special needs, child and family and health services. I offer consultation and supervision and work with in schools and colleges and currently offer consultation to colleges for young people with complex needs and Autism. I have worked in both diagnostic settings and therapy services in the health service and trained to assess developmental diagnosis such as Autism. I have worked in both NHS and charities for sexual health and trauma services. In the past, I volunteered for sexual health charities and birth trauma. I have offered consultations for staff and support in health and education settings. I work with all ages and I am interested in OCD and other anxiety conditions. I also like to work with people around trauma, relationships, loss and families issues. I have experience of working with helping people addiction and new diagnoses. I have done many additional assessment and therapy trainings including Autism (ADOS), Dielectical behavioural Therapy for Adolescences. I have a great deal of experience working with young people, teenagers and families. I also work in business settings offering mental health support to companies for their employees. I am a fully trained clinical psychologist and my background influences my work and I believe that therapy should involve assessment and treatment of symptoms and should be evidence based approach. I really enjoy my clinical work and seeing good results in all my clients. I currently work and offer supervision and offer support to other psychologists and health care professions.
