About me

I am a Counselling Psychologist with extensive experience working in the NHS and private practice. I have worked with a wide range of emotional difficulties and from a variety of perspectives. My approach has developed to become holistic in nature, in that I take seriously the role of physical health on mental health, and vice-versa. What we do with our bodies (e.g. smoking, exercise, substance misuse, diet, sleep) has a direct impact on our mental health, and therefore needs to be considered if we want to optimise the conditions for healing. For more information on my approach to therapy, please click here. In addition to my clinical work, I am a lecturer and research supervisor on a Doctoral programme for trainee psychologists and psychotherapists. 

 

I have a particular interest in working with issues surrounding sexuality, trauma, the body and relationships. I am registered as an Advanced Accredited Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversities Therapist with Pink Therapy. 

I offer therapy in person, online, and over the telephone.

The space

Therapy, if in person, will take place in a room that was carefully designed to create an atmosphere of warmth, comfort and creativity.
