Accredited Mental Health Social Worker

I am a clinical psychologist with a PhD, specialising in chronic pain and mental health management. I have extensive experience supporting people of all ages in hospital and community settings through assessments and tailored support. My approach focuses on empathy, teamwork, and strategies that have been shown to work effectively. It's important to me that everyone feels listened to, understood, and involved in their own growth journey. I use practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Positive Psychotherapy (PPT), and biofeedback, tailored specifically to each person's needs and goals. Clear communication, everyday examples, and relatable language help make our work together meaningful. My background as a former national-level athlete inspires me to emphasise resilience, strength, and determination - qualities I encourage everyone to discover and strengthen. My goal is to help people build lasting resilience, achieve their goals, and lead fulfilling, meaningful lives.

Clinical Psychologist

Through my practice as a psychologist, I am committed to supporting individuals from childhood to adulthood on their wellbeing journey. I am a friendly and personable clinician and aim to provide a safe, client-centred, and non-judgemental therapeutic space for all through an approach grounded in empathy, active listening, and collaboration, creating a safe space where clients feel understood and empowered. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and has the strength and knowledge within themselves to grow and achieve their goals. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Based Approaches to ensure you get the best out of your experience in therapy. By tailoring treatment to each individual's unique needs and preferences, I work with clients to build practical coping strategies, explore underlying issues, and foster self-awareness. This holistic, strengths-based approach helps clients gain clarity, resilience, and the confidence to make lasting positive changes in their lives. Clients will receive personalised, compassionate care that empowers you to overcome challenges, build resilience, and achieve your mental health goals.
