Clinical Psychologist
Welcome
ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I am a Clinical Psychologist based in London. I have a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology and have worked for the National Health Service for over 10 years in a variety of mental health settings, working with adults and children. I specialise in working with anxiety and depression. I currently offer online therapy services and work with adults and young people.
I believe therapy can deepen your understanding of yourself and can be helpful at various points in your life. You might seek therapy at a time of change, feeling 'stuck', or just wanting to learn more about yourself. Therapy can help you identify your patterns, and help you find ways out of any unhelpful cycles. You may also seek therapy at a time of experiencing a specific mental health concern that you want to overcome. As a Clinical Psychologist, I am trained in various therapeutic models to a doctoral level. I typically take an integrative approach to therapy which means the models I draw on will depend on your individual needs and preferences, to help you achieve your goals. I always focus on creating a warm, open, compassionate and comfortable space in therapy. I also offer in-depth specific approaches such as a course of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or Acceptance and Commitment Therapy if this suits your needs.
I appreciate that seeking therapy can be a daunting process and so I offer a free 10-15 minute consultation to see whether I am a good fit for you.
I also offer workshops and events. I currently am offering workshops on ADHD and on mental health (please contact me to discuss a bespoke package). I have experience of being on panels for various events and on podcasts. For more information please contact me.

EXPERIENCE
I have experience working in mental health across different services in the NHS. This includes working in core adult mental health services (including primary and secondary care), specialist services (health), and Child and Adolescent services (CAMHS). I also have experience working in health settings using health psychology principles.
I have worked with a range of mental health issues including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotion regulation difficulties and trauma. I have also worked with clients with relationship difficulties and have helped them to improve communication and build stronger relationships.
SPECIALTIES AND APPROACH
I typically take an integrative approach to therapy and tailor my approach based on the individual needs and preferences of my clients. I will work with you to explore what kind of approach suits you best. This may be an open and explorative
approach, or a structured and strategies based approach. We can also use a mixture of both.
I have additional specialist accreditation in CBT from the BABCP that I acquired before my Clinical training. This means I can use CBT and related third wave approaches e.g. Compassionate Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with more expertise and depth. During my Doctorate I focused on strengthening my skills in other therapeutic approaches such as narrative.
