“I am passionate about delivering high quality, evidence-based psychological care and treatment.  I offer a safe, non-judgemental, compassionate space to allow you to have your voice heard and work with you collaboratively to tackle any difficulties you may be facing”.

My therapeutic style is built on warmth, compassion and creating a safe environment in therapy.  I work collaboratively with clients to allow their voice to be heard and to to develop a shared understanding of their difficulties.  I strive to empower clients to identify and work towards goals that are meaningful for them.  I adopt a person-centred, integrative approach, ensuring that treatment is both evidence-based, whilst best suited to the needs of the individual. I have experience of working with children, young people and their families with a range of mental health difficulties. I am experienced in conducting neurodevelopmental assessments for autism and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).  It is important to me that these assessments are strengths-based and based on neuro-affirming, evidence-based practice. I prioritise the therapeutic relationship, through creating a sense of safety and engaging young people through their interests and with humour.  

I have experience working with adults with a range of mental health difficulties and most recently I was working in the Staff Support Service, providing psychological support to staff who had been impacted, and in some cases, traumatised, by the caring role they were in.  I also have experience working in a service for survivors of trauma and abuse- providing psychological therapy in order to treat symptoms of trauma and supporting them to feel empowered to find and re-engage in what feels meaningful for them again.
