I'm an online and Hertfordshire based Clinical Psychologist supporting Autistic young people, young adults and their families around mental wellbeing, sleep and understanding behaviours of distress. I offer interventions directly with young people, adults and/or with parents/ carers and families. I can support around challenges with anxiety, low mood, emotional regulation and sleep. I also offer work around aspects of understanding diagnosis, identity and self-esteem. I can offer Cognitive Assessments to identify strengths and areas of need to support with mental wellbeing and education of young people.
I use a range of psychological models including: CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Systemic and PBS (Positive Behaviour Support). I work integratively, which means that I draw ideas from different models dependent on what we feel will be helpful at that time.
I take a strengths based and a Neurodivergence positive approach. I can use my training and experience of working with children and families to support with your challenges. However, I recognise that you are the experts in your own experiences and family, so we need to work together to find the most helpful way forward.

Working with autistic people and their families, there is no 'one size fits all' for therapy. We will start with an assessment appointment to understand your goals, and to see if you feel comfortable working with me. I often support around anxiety and low mood and in exploring an understanding of how autism and other parts of our lives may influence our strengths and differences.
