About me

I am a fully registered Practitioner Psychologist with the Health Professions Council (HCPC),as well as being a BABCP accredited therapist.

I have worked in the field of adult mental health since 2001 in both inpatient and outpatient clinic settings (both NHS and private sector). I worked as a senior/lead Clinical Psychologist for the NHS for several years before focusing on private practice; Kingston Psychology Clinic. I have broad experience of working with a range of presenting difficulties, from milder presentations through to moderate, more severe and long standing difficulties. I also have specialist training in working with people with difficulties associated with traumatic events, both in their adult life and in childhood. In my private practice I most commonly work with people experiencing difficulties with depressed and anxious mood.

I am trained in a diverse range of therapeutic models including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), Mindfulness based therapies and Psychodynamic Therapy (primarily focusing on patterns of attachment relationships). I have significant post qualification training in therapeutic techniques and am able to deliver both short term and longer term therapeutic interventions depending on the needs of my clients.

I believe that with the right support, people can make valuable changes to their lives which can significantly alter their quality of life. I work hard to form a trusting, empathetic and collaborative relationship with people and strive to have a therapeutic relationship on an equal footing. I endeavour to engage people in therapy in a warm and meaningful way, whilst not shying away from compassionate discussion of the important issues.

My consulting rooms are based in central Kingston Upon Thames. I welcome referrals from individuals themselves or other health professionals can refer.
