Everyone has to deal with difficult times or distressing emotions at some point in their life. I aim to offer a safe and confidential space to help you understand what might be happening and learn to manage or overcome any painful experiences and feelings.

Schema Therapy and others
As a clinical psychologist my choice of treatments offered are influenced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines, current evidence base and best practice. I also take into account your personal situation and psychological style.
I offer supervision to other professionals and this can be arranged upon request.
When we meet for the first time we’ll have an initial assessment over one to three sessions to discuss your difficulties together.
We can then make a plan for therapy, including how many sessions you might need, how regularly we’ll meet, and when we will review this process.
Each therapy session typically lasts 50 minutes.
