Services
I am passionate about providing assessment and therapy services which are effective and proven to help.
I am trained in several evidence- based therapeutic and assessment approaches including:
ADHD assessment for Adults and Children (NICE guidelines)
Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT),
Compassion focused therapy (CFT)
Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT).
The therapy approaches are adapted to be provided for workshop and workplace wellbeing strategies.
1-to-1 Therapy
I have worked within the field of mental health for over 20 years, including general psychotherapy services and trauma services. I am very experienced in working with a number of different emotional difficulties.

I pride myself on my ability to help my clients feel welcome and safe enough to share their struggles with me. Therapy can be a big first step to take on the journey of self-healing and I feel privileged to be part of that journey.
As a Clinical Psychologist I am able to draw on an in-depth knowledge and understanding of several evidence-based therapy approaches which are tailored to the needs of my clients. The therapeutic approach that I provide to my clients is usually discussed and decided following the initial assessment sessions. We discuss which approach will be best suited for you depending on what challenges you are facing and for you to get the most benefit from the therapy.
I am experienced in providing both face to face and online video therapy.
Online video therapy allows for a flexible approach to therapy which meets the needs of the clients. You can access therapy with me from anywhere in the world, all you need is a good internet signal. People ask whether online therapy is as effective as face to face, and the answer is yes! There is a growing evidence base to support this. I believe that I can genuinely connect with my clients online and the therapeutic relationship can be just as strong as with face to face therapy. The free consultation I offer is a good opportunity to see how online therapy might work for you.
Please note I only work with adults (age 16 upwards)
Coaching
The coaching services I am trained in providing help my clients to achieve their goals and live meaningful lives, guided by their values. If you are feeling stuck in life, not making progress, and you want to move forward then coaching is for you.
There are a lot of coaches out there in the world, and it can be incredibly difficult choosing the right one for you.
People have varying degrees of qualification and it is often unknown what professional qualifications coaches have. The approach I use for this work is based on the evidence-based approach called Acceptance and Commitment therapy (ACT). This approach has been shown to be effective and credible, and there are over 100 research trials which prove this.
Please note that coaching is quite different to therapy. In order to benefit from a coaching approach, the client should be feeling generally settled with themselves, with no overwhelming emotional difficulties. We will focus on what is happening that is holding the client back, in order to help them move forward. If it appears that my clients would benefit more from a therapy approach, I will share this with them.
ADHD Assessment
