Struggling with your mental health?
Struggling with the impact of past events?
Wondering how to move forward?
Opening up about mental health difficulties can be a daunting step, but sometimes the first step can be the hardest...
“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength”

PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY
* Offering psychological assessment and therapy, providing a safe and confidential space to explore, understand and work through a range of mental health challenges, difficult experiences and distress.
* I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in the NHS and in Independent Practice.
With over 30 years working in NHS adult mental health settings I can offer sound understanding and experience in relation to the full spectrum of mental health difficulties.
* I offer particular specialist expertise in relation to recovery from complex trauma, dissociative experiences and difficulties with emotional, behavioural and relationship instability.
* Therapy may draw on a range of evidence-based psychological models (particularly Psychodynamic, Attachment-Informed and Mentalization-Based Therapy; but also Cognitive-Behavioural and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy approaches), whichever seems most appropriate for you.
* Given the complexity of mental health needs, I will also advise on whether involving other professionals might be helpful for you.
* I also provide consultation and comprehensive assessment for individuals and organisations regarding mental health concerns.
