About
When it comes to your emotional wellbeing it is important to know your therapist has obtained the highest qualifications, knowledge, skills, and experience in the field.
I'm a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society with over 20 years’ experience. I've worked extensively with a broad range of mental health difficulties including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, childhood trauma, PTSD and personality disorders as well as bipolar disorders and psychotic experiences. I'm registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and am a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) which confers legal recognition within psychological therapy to deliver the highest standards of clinical knowledge and expertise. I have also gained recognition with the International Society of Schema Therapy as a Certified Advanced Level Schema Focused Therapist providing the highest level of clinical knowledge and skills in this treatment model for clients to identify, overcome and manage their difficulties.
