Experience and approach:

I have worked in specialist services supporting adults, young people, and couples with a range of difficulties, ranging from stress to severe psychopathology, in both inpatient and outpatient environments.

My experience includes working at

several national specialist teams (clinic for psychosis, adoption and fostering and psychosexual).
talking therapy services (common mental health problems)
health services (cancer support and brain injury)
eating disorders (Adults and young people/families)
forensic and prison services (severe mental health problems)

I have a particular interest in supporting people with low self-esteem and conducted my doctoral research in this area by examining the effect of a novel intervention for LGBTQ+ university students.

The above allow me to adopt an approach that is integrative, evidence-based, and tailored to each client. I aim to create a safe, collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences, gain insight into patterns, and build the skills and confidence to create positive, lasting change.
