Infomation

I am a qualified clinical psychologist & AFMCP graduate. I utilise my many years of experience to offer clients a safe space to discuss their background & lifestyle in depth, in order that I fully understand their current issues, challenges & goals. Clients find it helpful to tell their complete story & have an opportunity to ask questions / make decisions about the possibility of further work. I offer a confidential, compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore the issues that led them to seek support & make recommendations for intervention. For example, I may suggest functional medicine work, longer term exploratory therapy, or focused trauma work. I provide a space of safety, respect & optimism for the real possibility of change.

What Patients Can Expect

My commitment is to provide clients with the appropriate information & advice to maximise their chances of success. Although I use a range of therapeutic models & theories to inform my work, I mainly utilise systemic & functional health principles, underpinned by humanistic values. At the heart of my work is a deep respect for people & their ability to ‘re-author’ their personal stories in a way that is useful & meaningful to them – my aim is empower clients to explore their personal experiences of mental and/or physical ill-health, whilst providing space within which arising feelings & emotions can be contained. Ultimately, I endeavor to meet the client 'where they are at' in order to make realistic & achievable changes that last.
