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.

How therapy works
Psychological difficulties can develop for many reasons which is what we aim to identify within our sessions. We help you find ways to live your life despite the causes and alongside the symptoms.
We carry out an initial assessment that looks at the problems and difficulties you are having and identify your goals for therapy. Together we will agree how many sessions you may need and the therapeutic approaches that will be suitable to get you those results.
Costs for therapy sessions can be discussed upon enquiry.
