I have over 10 years of experience working as a Counselling Psychologist. Originally trained as a Psychologist in Australia, I hold a Master’s of Counselling Psychology. I am registered with the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) as a Counselling Psychologist, and I am a member of the EMDR Association UK.
I have a friendly and down-to-earth approach and am focused on developing a positive and trusting relationship with you. Our therapeutic relationship is paramount to working effectively and I strive to provide compassionate and holistic care. In addition to private practice, I currently work in NHS Secondary Care Mental Health Services specialising in psychological treatment for people with complex mood, anxiety, trauma, and personality disorders.
I specialise in working with trauma (PTSD & C-PTSD), anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, gender and sexuality issues, addiction, relationship issues, neurodiversity (autism, ADHD, learning difficulties), personality disorder, sleep and stress management.
I am trained in various psychological treatments, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy.
I am registered with several major health insurance providers. These include AXA, Vitality, Aviva, WPA & Cigna.
Please speak with your health insurance provider to ensure your treatment will be covered and any limits regarding your claim. You will need prior authorisation from your insurance provider prior to booking an appointment.
I offer a free 15-minute online consultation to discuss your therapy needs and to see if I am the right fit for you.
Fees: £110 for self-funded (both face-to-face and online). I offer a free 15-minute online introductory chat.
