For the past 10 years, I have been providing clinical care within the NHS, offering psychological assessments and therapeutic interventions in primary, secondary, and tertiary care services. I have experience in working with clients of all ages, presenting with various mental health issues and different levels of complexity. My work in the NHS, has allowed me to specialize in working with adult clients presenting with complex trauma/PTSD, personality disorders, and with clients with co-morbid complex trauma/PTSD and addictions. Alongside my work in private practice, I work as a Highly Specialised Clinical Psychologist within the NHS Addictions Psychological Therapies Service.

Therapeutically, I am experienced in working with all common psychological and emotional difficulties, including but not limited to: anxiety (with or without panic), OCD, depression, emotion dysregulation, low self-esteem, anger, adjustment to life changes/health difficulties, PTSD, complex trauma presentations, interpersonal relationship difficulties and complex/traumatic grief.
