About me

I qualified as a Chartered Counselling Psychologist in 2004 and have twenty five years experience of working both in the private sector and the NHS. I offer services to work with a range of psychological issues including depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and more enduring personality issues. I use evidence based approaches to enable a positive process of change in the clients that I see.

I have extensive experience of assessing and treating clients across a broad range of healthcare settings, this has included work in GP surgeries, community mental health teams and an inpatient forensic service.  During this time I have worked with adults, couples, adolescents and children experiencing emotional difficulties.

Philosophy

I am often moved by clients I see who despite having experienced life-long difficulties are determined  to change. This shows how by understanding ourselves in relation to the people we care about, we can actively make new choices to learn how to show up in our relationships. I will be working alongside you so that together we can have a detailed understanding of how things are going awry to help you to move forward.  I will be by your side to provide you with a map and hope for change.
