Qualifications & Memberships

I am a Practitioner Psychologist with HCPC registration (PYL30956). I completed my Doctorate in Child, Community and Educational Psychology at the Tavistock Clinic, affiliated by University of Essex (July 2014).

I am a certified Group Work Practitioner having completed a Diploma in Group Analysis at the Institute of Group Analysis, London.

I have also completed additional therapeutic trainings to support individuals, parents/families, as well as their wider networks. For example, Systemic and Narrative approaches, Psychodynamic and Compassion Focused Therapy.

I also hold Qualified Teacher Status having taught in schools in London and Liverpool in my earlier career.

Personal Statement

I am a Practitioner Psychologist who specialises in working with adolescents and young adults. I have many years’ experience working across education, health, social care and charity sectors. I am also employed as a Senior Psychologist for an NHS mental health service.

I have had the privilege to work with, and learn from, people from a wide variety of backgrounds. I believe our past experiences and social context holds great relevance to our sense of identity and experiences in the world.  

Young People who have worked with me often remark that I create a safe and non-judgmental space where they have felt heard. I work collaboratively with each person at a pace and depth that feels psychologically safe but sufficiently challenging to make progress. I aim to support young people explore their current difficulties, past experiences, as well as strengths, hopes and dreams, to help make meaning of their distress, enhance coping and empower them to live lives that are authentic and fulfilling.

I am committed to upholding confidentiality, but I also understand that involving parents/carers, partners, and educators can be important. Therefore, I offer advice, consultation, and training to key people within a person's support network, with permission and as required.

Taking the first step to embark on therapy can be intimidating, but finding the right therapist is essential. I offer a complimentary 20-minute consultation to help you, or significant others in your life, to discuss your needs and consider how I can help.  

Group Therapy for Young Adults

This group meets each week on a Wednesday 19.15-20.45. There is space for up to 6 members. It is open to young adults 18-26 years old. This group would be particularly helpful if you are experiencing challenges relating to your relationships, mood, self-esteem and/or your sense of connection and belonging.

To find out more about some of the therapies I offer, please see: Time Limited Adolescent Psychodynamic Psychotherapy as well as Group Psychotherapy.

Work Focus

My work focus is with young people (14 to 25 years) who are experiencing common mental health difficulties, such as anxiety and depression, as well as those facing challenges relating to relationshps, loss and learning, or life transitions and identity.

I offer both individual and group psychotherapy. My preferred therapeutic approach is psychodynamic, but I have the training, skills and experience to draw upon a range of psychological models to best meet your needs and goals.
