I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society providing assessment and therapy.
I have 20 years’ experience working as a Lead Consultant Psychologist in the NHS with a range of psychological presentations in mental health and I have particular specialism in assessment and intervention for Autistic people and / or those who have a Learning Disability.
I practice a holistic client centred approach, aiming to support and develop an individual’s personal strengths and help facilitate their navigation of difficult and stressful life events to build confidence and resilience. I firmly believe that regardless of what the nature of the psychological difficulty is, the individual needs to feel supported enough to begin to talk and explore their challenges. The therapeutic alliance is at the forefront of any positive psychological change.
