About Me
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist providing psychological therapy to individuals, couples and families. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council and am a Chartered member of the British Psychological Society. I have worked in both NHS and private settings and am committed to offering high quality, effective and compassionate therapy.
My Approach
Through studying my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Oxford I have gained experience and knowledge of a wide range of therapeutic approaches and psychological difficulties across the lifespan.
My practice is primarily informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) however I am respectful that every person is an individual so I am conscious that finding the most effective way of dealing with an issue may involve integrating ideas from a range of orientations. Therapy can, at times, be an emotionally challenging process however I believe strongly that therapy can provide us with a means of understanding ourselves better and enriching our lives as a result.
I am strongly influenced by ideas from solution-focused approaches and subscribe to the view that we all have the ability to find solutions for the challenges that life throws at us. My job as a therapist is to help the people I work with to find those solutions, consider alternative perspectives, and ultimately empower them to become their own therapist.
For me, it is not only important that the people I work with feel better in the short-term but that they feel more equipped to cope in the long-term.
