Evidence-based therapy, tailored to your needs

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with more than twenty years' experience within the NHS and private practice, working with adults, children and families.  

Despite their best efforts, many of my clients are finding life overwhelming; often struggling with anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties and the effects of earlier life experiences. My role is to help you to feel better and move forward.

Sessions take place in my consulting room at Wrest Park, Bedfordshire, or securely online.

Confidentiality is fundamental to my practice.

What to expect

There are three main stages of my work with clients:

  1. Understand: A thorough assessment to develop a comprehensive understanding of how your problems began, what’s maintaining them and how best to break the pattern.

  2. Change: Evidence-based therapy tailored to your needs, focused on relieving distress, improving your mood, strengthening your relationships with others and restoring your quality of life.

  3. Move Forward: Helping you build lasting change, greater confidence and the skills to navigate future challenges.

Issues I work with

People rarely arrive with a single tidy issue, but most of the work I do falls into three broad areas:

  • Anxiety & Trauma: PTSD, anxiety, worry, OCD, panic, health anxiety, emetophobia and other phobias.

  • Mood & Self-esteem: low mood, burnout, work-related stress, ADHD related difficulties and feelings of failure.

  • Relationships & Life Transitions: Relationship difficulties, parenting, separation, bereavement and adjusting to change.
