I am a HCPC-registered Senior Psychologist with over 10 years’ experience working across NHS and IAPT services. Alongside providing therapy for a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties, I have held Clinical Lead roles within cancer and palliative care services across two NHS trusts.

My work has given me extensive experience supporting people living with long-term health conditions, pain, fatigue, life-changing diagnoses, bereavement, grief and loss. I understand the deep emotional impact that illness, uncertainty and major life transitions can have, and I aim to provide a compassionate, validating and trauma-informed space where people feel heard and understood.

I support clients experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, burnout, trauma, body image difficulties and challenges with adjustment and identity. I also help people develop a greater understanding of their nervous system, emotional responses and “window of tolerance,” empowering them with practical strategies to regain a sense of stability, control and connection to what matters most to them.

My approach focuses not only on reducing distress, but on helping people move towards a life guided by their values, strengths and personal meaning — even during difficult or uncertain times

I work with adults who are struggling with low self esteem,trauma,shame,PTSD , long standing mental health difficulties. I use EMDR, ACT and CFT evidence based models

I’m a friendly, down to earth person who uses evidence based practices to meet the person where they are to help to empower you to make positive changes. My approach is integrative to help people to make sense of their experiences, develop emotional resilience and help you to live a rich, meaningful , fulfilled life .
