I am a passionate, committed, and hard-working Counselling Psychologist wanting to bring to you a psychological service that meets all your needs. I began practicing as a Counselling Psychologist after a previous professional career in teaching. Leaving teaching over ten years ago, I realised my dream of becoming a psychologist, a position that I feel is a privilege, one that I never take for granted.

I now have a growing team of associates who all have their specialist areas, are talented psychologists and psychotherapists, who I either have worked with, know personally, or have come highly recommended. We are all experienced in working across a range of difficulties and age groups. Our goals as clinicians are to reduce your psychological distress (e.g., depression, anxiety, pain) to enhance and encourage psychological well-being.

My specialist areas are domestic violence and abuse. I have worked with many survivors of abuse and indeed my doctoral thesis and further research is in this area. My interest was developed from starting a therapeutic service in a women’s refuge back in 2014

I have met many inspirational women, along the way, and now work closely with Local Authorities to support women to re-build their lives, and the lives of their children in the aftermath of domestic abuse.

Complex trauma and PTSD is another area that I am a specialist in. I am an accredited EMDR practitioner and integrate this within my work. EMDR is an incredibly powerful and transformative therapy and often brings life-changing results.

I am an accredited Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with over 12 years of experience working for the NHS. EMDR and Schema Therapy are other modalities I use where difficulties involve more longstanding patterns with emotional and/or other trauma-based origins.

Together with many years of formal training and developing expertise across a wide range of difficulties, I also have over 40 years’ experience of being a human being- thus a lived experience of emotional distress. I have completed and benefited from all the therapies I provide, which I feel is invaluable in truly empathising with what you may be going through and what might help (although everyone's experience is unique).

Therapy will involve recognising and understanding the patterns of difficulties you experience and the context in which they developed before working to challenge/break these patterns and manage those triggers in more adaptive ways going forward. Thus, allowing you to build up emotional resilience; confidence and well-being.

I have over 17 years’ experience working and leading services as a Clinical Psychologist in the NHS. I work with people who are struggling with difficult and overwhelming emotions and relationships and people with experiences of trauma.

My specialist area is within Infant Mental Health and Perinatal Psychology. My work involves strengthening relationships and providing tailored support to those in the perinatal period, who have been affected by difficulties associated with conception, pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. I am accredited in offering parenting interventions, interventions to support the parent and baby/child bond and trauma focused interventions.

I support people to consider their own earlier experiences of care and how this may be re-enacted in the present. I have led a team on the set up and development of an innovative and successful Trauma Informed, perinatal trauma and baby loss service across Greater Manchester. 

I believe that we operate in relationships, and I hold a 'think ' family approach, holding in mind key relational patterns, alongside an understanding around a baby/ child's developmental, cognitive and emotional perspective. I can therefore work with a variety of difficulties or problems. I work with you to develop a psychological formulation or understanding of the difficulties you have, and tailor the sessions around you, your needs and goals.

I am passionate about my work and relationships and I am driven to develop a supportive and safe space, balancing exploration and understanding, with ideas and steps towards change. I am hopeful, genuine and compassionate in my approach, to enable people to live a more meaningful life, in line with their values.

I am a clinical psychologist and am currently undertaking an intermediate level accreditation in family therapy. I offer online therapy for individuals, families, couples and queer partnerships, and parent-child pairs.

In individual therapy, I use a trauma-informed approach based on compassionate and values-based therapeutic models which are strengths-based. I look forward to working with people towards better mental health, wellbeing, and living a meaningful thriving life.

In relational therapy, I focus on the different ways that people can relate with each other, such as: (a)romantic, (a)sexual, parenting, and family relationships. I use therapeutic approaches based on systemic thinking, focusing on the relationships between people, their social contexts, and the wider cultures that we find ourselves in. I look forward to working with people who wish to develop their communication and connection with each other – whether this be with partner(s), parent(s), or child(ren).

I am an Indian cis-gendered non-disabled queer woman, born in Bengaluru, Karnataka, and raised in the UK. Migration is a huge part of my lived experiences, due to which I am especially interested in the ways that language and culture influence and shape us throughout our lives.

I have worked for the past 24 years within Local Authority contexts, across a range of primary, high school, further education and specialist settings. This has involved working with children and young people between the ages of 0-25; liaising with school/college staff to help to meet the needs of their students; direct work with parents supporting them and their child at home and at school; providing a range of training for teachers, parents, and other professionals.

For the past 19 years I have held a dual role, positioned across both Educational and Clinical Sectors. My work across a variety of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHs), has equipped me with the skills to assess need, recommend, and deliver therapeutic approaches aimed at improving the mental health of children and young people. I am committed to finding ways to make a positive difference to the lives of children and young people and to support them in their journey towards greater wellbeing.

Within the past few years, I have gathered experience in the area of Educational Neuropsychology. This work focused on the rehabilitation of children and young people with an acquired brain injury, supporting children/ young people, their families and the wider systems involved with them.

In addition, I have worked as an Associate Psychologist for the National Autistic Society and more recently as a Specialist Eating Disorder Therapist.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist working primarily in the NHS with individuals with complex mental health difficulties. I have worked in the NHS in mental health for 16 years and been qualified as a clinical psychologist for almost 10 years.

I specialise in helping adults who have experienced trauma who struggle to regulate their emotions and navigate their relationships with others. I have worked with individuals in primary and secondary care services with anxiety disorders, depression and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) symptoms.

I take a person centred approach and will work with you to help you to understand the difficulties you are experiencing and am compassionate and non judgmental. I am trained in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and I like to use a Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) informed approach to working with relationship difficulties.

I look forward to working alongside you to help you to make the changes you are seeking and to improve your quality of life and relationships.

I am an HCPC registered clinical psychologist with substantial experience working with adults in the NHS. I specialise in supporting individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties. I also have considerable experience working clinically with people with medically unexplained symptoms and chronic conditions. Finally, I hold expertise in working with parents, supporting them to think about their early experiences and how this might impact their relationship with their child.

My approach is relational, trauma informed and culturally sensitive. I think about difficulties and distress as being rooted in relationships and grounded in context, drawing on models including psychodynamic, cognitive analytic and narrative therapies. This means I work collaboratively with the client to think about influences from their upbringing, their relationship with self and others, while paying close attention to social factors.

My aim is to cultivate a safe and containing space for clients, as I believe establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship is essential for therapeutic work to happen.
