My psychology and psychotherapy studies include degrees in Cognitive Science (Cognitive and Clinical Neuroscience), Psychotherapy and Counselling and Existential Psychotherapy - 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, because it can achieve a deeper level of understanding. Working in private practice allows me space to provide this.

I am accredited by the BACP and the UKCP which are the main accrediting bodies for trained psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. UKCP accreditation is the highest available, granted after 5 years of postgraduate study and experience. UKCP accreditation also 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.
