About Me

I am a Clinical Psychologist experienced at working with people navigating depression, anxiety, personality disorders, PTSD (including complex PTSD), OCD, workplace challenges such as bullying, and painful relationship difficulties.

I also have a commitment to working with people who have experienced trauma. Providing space, so clarity as to how trauma shaped their sense of self and choices can be compassionately witnessed and understood, and navigated. Providing skills and strategies as needed, and at times somatic support, to feel centred and present again. To support freedom from harmful patterns. Encouraging the development of wisdom, self-autonomy and emotional maturity as therapy progresses.

Much of my work is long-term therapeutic care, but I also support individuals seeking shorter-term intervention. I am trained in schema therapy, CBT, DBT, EMDR, and grief therapy, and I remain committed to ongoing professional development. My years of psychodynamic supervision have supported a broad and nuanced exploration of the human experience and how our inner worlds are shaped. How this influences our relationships (and vise-verse), both consciously and unconsciously.

I have had the privilege of supporting adults in therapy for over a decade. I continue to be humbled by the work, and deeply grateful to the field of psychology for its healing potential, its academic exploration of human development, traits, personality and behavioural social patterns. I see it as a lifelong journey of learning, care, and connection to supporting the emotional lives of others.
