I have over 10 years experience working as a Counselling Psychologist. Originally trained as a Psychologist in Australia, I hold a Masters of Counselling Psychology. I am registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Counselling Psychologist and I am a member of EMDR Association UK.
I have a friendly and down to earth approach, and am focused on developing a positive and trusting relationship with you. Our therapeutic relationship is paramount to working effectively and I strive to provide compassionate and holistic care. In addition to private practice, I currently work in NHS Secondary Care Mental Health Services specialising in psychological treatment for people with complex mood, anxiety, trauma and personality disorders.
I specialise working with trauma (PTSD & C-PTSD), anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, gender and sexuality issues, addiction, relationship issues, neurodiversity (autism, ADHD, learning difficulties), personality disorder, sleep and stress management.
I am trained in various psychological treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
