About the therapist:

I qualified as a clinical psychologist from University College London in 1998 and have more than 20 years of NHS and private practice experience.

Beyond my clinical practice I have worked continually to address inequalities and improve services for those who are otherwise excluded.

I have also worked within the university and medico-legal sectors, employee assistance programmes and central government health policy.

Experience and approach:

Working with common, and more complex psychological problems, I work using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and compassion-focused therapy (CFT) to enable clients to improve their mental health and wellbeing. Using my training and experience to build a comfortable space and a sense of hope, clients can bring a range of feelings, patterns of behaviour and life problems into therapy. My specialist areas of practice include substance use problems and working with gender, sexuality and relationship diversity.
