Are you struggling with finding your direction in life? Perhaps you are feeling lost, anxious or low in mood? Do you find yourself pulled into unhealthy relationship patterns, or feel like you can't connect fully with others? These are common difficulties I work with. I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist registered with the HCPC. I use a compassionate, evidence-based approach to help individuals identify the changes they’d like to make and to learn new skills for dealing with difficult thoughts, feelings and behaviours. I work with adults and adolescents aged 16+
I have 20 years’ experience in the NHS and private practice. I am trained to doctorate level in evidence-based therapies including CBT, CFT & ACT. I am a certified schema therapist and offer longer-term therapy to address unmet childhood needs, attachment trauma and to understand and change problematic relationship patterns and difficult coping patterns.
I understand it can feel like a big step to seek psychological therapy, and therefore it is important to find the right professional to help you. Please look at my website and contact me if you would like to arrange a free 20m telephone consultation to discuss your difficulties further and ask any questions about clinical psychology and my therapy approach.
