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.

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.
