Special interest areas

I have worked with individuals presenting with a wide range of difficulties and psychological needs and have worked in the NHS for 15 years.

I have significant experience working in clinical health, specifically cancer and palliative care..

Personal Statement

As an experienced therapist with specialist skills in delivering evidence-based psychological interventions (using a wide range of proven therapies including CBT, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness), I focus on helping clients identify their needs and move toward achieving their goals.

I have worked in a wide range of settings from hospitals and mental-health clinics to charities and community health centres. Above all, I aim to provide a safe, supportive and confidential space for you to explore whatever difficulties you are facing in your life.
