My formal education in psychology and psychotherapy includes BSc Hons Cognitive Science (Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience) and post graduate studies in Psychotherapy & Counselling and Existential Psychotherapy (ADEP). Existential Psychotherapy is an approach that places importance on one’s subjective, embodied experience in the world.

I have worked as a psychologist in the NHS for various mental health services, including; acute adult inpatient services, specialist child and adolescent mental health services, neurodevelopmental paediatrics, emergency mental health services, medium secure forensic services, specialist eating disorder services, adult psychodynamic psychotherapy services, and group psychodynamic psychotherapy services. 

My passion is longterm relational psychotherapy, as it seeks to achieve a deeper level of understanding than other modalities. Working in private practice allows me space to provide this.

I am accredited by the UKCP and the BACP which are the main accrediting bodies in the United Kingdom for highly trained psychotherapists. UKCP accreditation is the highest available and means that I am held accountable to the UKCP’s code of ethics and am required to complete significant, continued professional development (relevant training and learning) every year.
