How I Like to Work
I work in a collaborative, open and empathic way with my clients. I value the importance of creating a safe and confidential space to talk. I have experience in using CBT, not only for symptom reduction and distress relief, but also to achieve longer lasting changes that genuinely improve everyday life. I work to empower my clients to get back on track, using their own strengths and resilience.
I am a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of experience of working in the NHS in a variety of clinical settings. For much of that time I have worked in primary care, offering evidence-based psychological therapy and therapist supervision for a wide range of emotional difficulties and common mental health issues.
I have a special interest in depression, emotional reactions to life events and difficulties experienced during the perinatal period.
