A psychologist for over 23 years, I have worked across a range of settings for the NHS, Local Authorities, private practice, for the National Autistic Society and in Educational Neuropsychology. I have worked directly, clinically ,with children and young people, parents, teachers as well as training other professionals. The work I have done, for a variety of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services, has equipped me with the skills to assess need, recommend, and deliver therapeutic approaches. I am committed to finding ways to make a positive difference to the lives of children and young people and to support them in their journey towards greater wellbeing.

I assess and treat anxiety; self-harm; Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD); Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD); eating disorders and acquired brain injury. I believe in using a holistic approach, working collaboratively with clients in order to find the best approaches for them individually.
