Hello and welcome- I am a registered Clinical Psychologist, and in my work I help people to lead meaningful and fulfilling lives alongside living with Long-Term Health Conditions. Having my own personal experience of chronic health problems, I understand the daily challenges this creates for people, as well as the understandably difficult feelings and dilemmas that can come up.

In my work I take a humanistic approach to psychological distress and view suffering as a normal human reaction to difficult circumstances. To help people make sense of their struggles, I encourage reflection on how life experiences have shaped coping strategies and ways of being, and whether these are helpful in the here and now despite perhaps once being adaptive. Through this insight, we can move towards identifying points of “stuckness” and making meaningful changes to help you live the life that you want.

My clinical approach is integrative, which means that I draw on various therapeutic models to inform how I think about people’s difficulties. This includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), and Systemic Therapy.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and non-judgemental place to openly talk, explore and experiment. My aim is to create a space where you feel deeply heard, understood and supported in finding your own ways towards meaningful and lasting change.

As well as supporting people to live well with chronic health conditions, I am able to help with a range of other issues such as stress, anxiety and depression. If you feel that we could be a good fit, please do reach out for a brief 10-15 minute consultation where I will be happy to discuss any queries with you.
