Welcome. Seeking psychological help is a courageous step & I aim to make it accessible, understandable & effective for clients. Please feel free to email me. I am a Doctorate-level qualified Clinical Psychologist who can help with assessment & therapy for mental health needs, personal problems or relationship issues. I work in a transparent way, explaining what we do & why, to increase your insight & engagement in your therapy. A good “fit” between client & psychologist is key & I would encourage you to look until you find that. I offer evidence-based strategies & coping skills, or can advise self-help or other resources at times.
I help clients with anxiety (now better understood as the anxiety, obsessive-compulsive & stress-related conditions) & depression using CBT; recovery from PTSD using Cognitive Processing Therapy; and Schema Therapy for unresolved childhood issues, low sense of self-worth & relationship problems. I help with understanding & addressing a range of life issues.
I offer marital/relationship therapy, helping individuals or partners through betrayals & relationship repair or moving on. People experiencing stress, insomnia, dealing with illness & cognitive deficits, as well as loss & grief can benefit from therapy. I help some people with 1 or 2 sessions of assessment & feedback to understand what’s happening for them.
