Hello, I'm Dr Jo
Principal Clinical Psychologist
in Haywards Heath, HPCP registered.
 

I work with children, young people aged 18-25, families and carers.

​​

​I aim to help children, young people and those who support them to better understand their unique strengths, experiences and challenges, while providing practical tools to navigate difficulties with greater confidence and resilience.  My hope is to support young people in developing self-understanding, self-belief and trust in their own abilities.

My Story

I am an HCPC registered  Principal Clinical Psychologist in a Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) and Private Practice based in Haywards Heath

I have supported individuals experiencing mental health difficulties for over 20 years across the lifespan, working within a range of settings including the National Health Service (NHS), independent practice and charitable organisations, including Beat, the UK’s eating disorder charity. I have worked within the NHS for the past 19 years.

​

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, therapy, supervision, consultation and training across a range of specialist services.

​​

My passion throughout my career has been supporting children, young people, and families experiencing psychological distress and complex mental health difficulties.

 

I have specialist experience working with looked after and adopted children, young people living with chronic health conditions, eating disorders, and those with neurodivergent and learning needs.

 

I have a particular interest in attachment, trauma, identity, shame, child and family dynamics, and supporting individuals and families to make sense of and find meaning in their experiences and diagnoses.

 

I work integratively, drawing on approaches including Systemic Family Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy. I value the importance of adapting these approaches collaboratively and flexibly to meet the strengths, needs, and values of each individual and family.
