WELCOME
I am a Clinical Psychologist with over twelve years' experience across the NHS and private practice.
I may be able to help you with issues such as anxiety, OCD, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma, or making sense of psychedelic experiences.
I am trained in psychodynamic and CBT approaches. I can help you to think about coping in the here-and-now while also learning about root causes, exploring relationship patterns and working with buried emotion.
I tailor therapies to your needs and the changes that are meaningful for you.
You can contact me for a free initial call.
Meeting in-person at least for the first sessions can be helpful.
EXPERIENCE
I worked in homeless and mental health outreach, then in the NHS for ten years as a therapist and manager. Through those roles, I built up experience in specialist trauma provision, long-term psychotherapy and short-term CBT.
I have lectured in clinical psychology for undergraduates at University College London, and have worked in psychological services for people sleeping rough in London.
ISSUES I WORK WITH
Central to all therapies is a trusting relationship in which you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement, and cultivate self-knowledge.
I can offer therapy for a range of difficulties, with particular experience in:
-
Anxiety, worry and panic, including short-term approaches to help confront specific fears
-
OCD, body dysmorphia and habit problems
-
Trauma recovery, including flashbacks, nightmares and hypervigilance
-
Making sense of psychedelic experiences
-
Understanding and changing patterns in relationships (e.g., isolation, avoidance or conflict)
-
Recovery from abuse ("things that happened that shouldn't have") or neglect ("things that should have happened that didn't")
See the Therapy areas section for more information about some of these areas or contact me to book an introductory phone call free of charge.
