About me

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the HCPC, specialising in complex trauma, eating disorders, body image issues, and attachment difficulties. I am passionate about helping people overcome anxiety and develop the tools to build a meaningful and fulfilling life. With extensive experience, I work collaboratively with my clients, using an integrative, evidence-based approach that includes CBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT). I tailor each treatment plan to the unique needs, values, and goals of every individual. I currently work within an NHS eating disorders service and am completing a Doctorate in Psychology, focusing on social cognition in Complex PTSD. My research helps me provide the latest, most effective therapies. I am committed to offering a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where clients feel safe and supported.
