My specialist areas of interest and experience are neurodevelopmental psychology and clinical psychotherapy.

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

My passion is longterm psychotherapy as it seeks to achieve a deeper level of understanding than other styles of therapy. Working in private practice as an existential analyst allows me space and time to provide this.

I am accredited by the UKCP and the BACP which are the main accrediting bodies in the United Kingdom for 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.

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 personal experience in the world.
