I have been practising as a qualified Clinical Psychologist since 2005, and I continue to study and develop my practice to ensure that what I offer remains grounded in the best evidence-based approaches. Alongside my clinical work, I pursue ongoing professional development across a range of areas — including trauma-informed and somatic approaches, attachment theory, and EMDR — because I believe that staying informed and curious makes me a better therapist.

The work I do is long-term, relational, and integrative, and I want the thinking and skills I bring to each session to be responsive to what you, as an individual, most need.

As a Clinical Psychologist and Chartered Psychologist, I am trained in psychopathology, clinical assessment, and a wide range of evidence-based psychological theories, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Mindfulness, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), to name a few. My work is grounded in rigorous clinical training and shaped by ongoing professional development (CPD). 

My early career took shape across a wide range of clinical environments, including NHS psychiatric hospitals, government services in the UK and abroad, and inpatient and outpatient settings in the UK and abroad.

My approach is rooted in psychodynamic thinking and shaped by attachment theory, interpersonal dynamics, and the patterns that quietly organise our inner lives and our relationships. I am an accredited Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy practitioner, which deepens my work with relationship difficulties, unresolved attachment, and the ways we repeat what we have not yet understood.

I have a particular interest in the psychology of women and in supporting women through the transitions that mark a life, e.g. motherhood, parenting, midlife, loss, identity, and body change. My interest in women’s mental health led me to specialist training in menopause-informed psychological care, and to a deepening focus on the mind–body connection.

I am a certified Somatic Trauma Therapies Practitioner as well as a Somatic EMDR Practitioner, drawing on Parts work, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, and other approaches to work with what the body holds and what words alone cannot always reach. These approaches include nervous system regulation, Somatic EMDR resourcing, and reprocessing techniques—approaches that work beneath the level of language, where some of the most significant healing quietly takes place.

At the heart of everything is the relationship between us. I believe it is in genuine connection, warmth, and trust that the most meaningful change unfolds.
