MY EXPERTISE

As a British Psychological Society (BPS) Clinical Psychologist, I am trained to provide comprehensive assessments to help individuals and families understand more about any difficulties they may be experiencing. The outcome of this is a clinical formulation which is tailored to each person and helps inform therapy. I am trained in a range of evidence based therapeutic approaches (including CBT(Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), attachment therapy, DBT (Dialetical Behaviour Therapy), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), systemic family therapy, mindfulness, narrative therapy and compassion focused therapy (CFT)). I can offer both short term and longer term therapy for adults, young people and children.
