About Me
Hello!
​
I am a Clinical Psychologist working online and face to face in Wokingham, Berkshire.
​
I have over 15 years of NHS clinical experience working with a wide range of client difficulties including low mood, anxiety, low self esteem, adjustment and transition and PTSD across working age and older people. I also offer couple work focusing on unhelpful patterns of relating and working towards a shared language.
​
I am mindful of the context in which we live and our relationships, and therefore I value an integrated approach which means I use ideas from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), compassion focused therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and systemic theory in my work with individuals and couples.
​
I recognise the value of the therapeutic relationship and the need for someone to feel safe to share their distress. It is a privilege to support people to gain insight into their difficulties, manage their internal struggles and reduce distress. My aim and hope is to help my clients learn new skills, build resilience and work towards living a life in line with their values.
​
Supervision, Consultation & Training
As an experienced clinical supervisor, I can offer clinical supervision to healthcare professionals in the non statutory and charities sector. I can also offer consultation to those services, companies and to charities that are interested in increasing their psychological thinking and support to staff.
​
Alongside my private practice, I work as a Principal Clinical Psychologist in an NHS specialist service, delivering therapy and providing supervision, consultation and training. I also have links to Oxford University.
