About Me

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience in working with young people and their families, offering therapeutic support for children presenting with emotional difficulties.

I have been working in mental health and specialist services for the NHS and private providers since 2013, including in Child and Adolescent Mental Health offering assessment, formulation, and specialist intervention for young people with moderate-severe mental health difficulties. 

I specialise in working with children and young people aged 4-18, and can work collaboratively with you and your child to equip you with knowledge, resources and coping strategies about how to move forward.

I’m registered with both the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society (BPS).
