Enabling recovery from psychological difficulties with confidence.
I am an HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist with additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion Focused Therapy and Humanistic Person Centred Therapy. I have over 20 years of experience of offering psychological therapy and I was formerly a Consultant Psychologist in the NHS. I am also an experienced Supervisor and Teacher and would welcome the opportunity to work with trainee Psychologists and practising Psychologists or Counsellors. In the early part of my career I was also a Nurse, therefore I offer considerable insight into long term physical health conditions and I have additional training in working psychologically with these.


As a Counselling Psychologist I offer specific expertise in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for common mental health conditions including, depression, low self esteem, anxiety, including panic disorder, post traumatic stress disorder, social anxiety and phobia, obsessive compulsive disorder and body dysmorphic disorder. I also offer expertise in assisting clients with psychological adjustment to long term health conditions. I am also experienced in working with health professionals.
I also offer therapy and counselling aimed at adjustment to life events such as bereavement and loss, work stress, redundancy, divorce/ relationship endings. Most of all I wish to work with you to define your goals and the issues you wish to work on.
You may be feeling uncertain of what may help and I am able to explore this, tailor therapy to you and go at your pace. I have helped many clients move on from difficult stages in their lives and move forward with confidence. I have learned from these clients in terms of what helps.
