My Story
I am an HCPC registered Principal Clinical Psychologist with 20 years' experience supporting children, young people, adults and families across NHS, independent and charitable settings.
"Somewhere in all of us is the power to change the world" Matilda
I qualified as a Clinical Psychologist in 2011, gaining my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (ClinPsyD) from the University of Leeds. Since qualifying, I have developed extensive experience in psychological assessment and therapy, as well as supervision, consultation and training.
A particular passion has been helping children and young people make sense of themselves and their experiences - especially when life feels stuck or overwhelming.
I also have a particular interest in supporting people beyond diagnosis to help them understand what it means for them as an individual, recognise their strengths and needs, and develop a greater self-understanding, confidence and acceptance.
