I am a Clinical psychologist with over 30 years of experience in the NHS, as well as working in private practice. I have worked in a range of community settings with adults, community teams, and hospitals. I have been involved in developing and leading services in these settings. I also have extensive experience in supervising teams and groups within the NHS and within Education.

Following my professional qualifications, I have undertaken further courses in psychotherapy, trauma and group psychotherapy and training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), mentalization based therapy (MBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR).

I am particularly interested in the impact of developmental trauma on emotional and physical well being. I work with a number of therapeutic approaches including trauma focused therapy, attachment based therapies, Mindfulness, EMDR and CBT.

My special interests, in addition to trauma, include working with depression, anxiety and work related stress and organisational conflict.
