About Me

I am a clinical psychologist based in North London. I use a combination of therapeutic approaches with people of all ages, with a range of concerns.

Personal therapy provides a space to improve relationships, facilitate self-reflection and awareness, overcome difficulties, increase resilience and lead a more authentic and contented life.

I qualified as a clinical psychologist from The University of Edinburgh in 2009. I have worked in a variety of NHS services including adults with chronic and severe mental health problems (Fife, Scotland), early interventions for psychosis (The Maudsley, South London), child autism and mental health (Hertfordshire), and adult learning disabilities (Haringey).

Since 2014 I have worked in the medico-legal field, providing psychological assessment and treatment for people affected by accident or injury. This frequently involves the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (trauma-focused CBT) and family work to address the complex dynamics that result from an individual experiencing a life-limiting injury.

I have been working solely as an independent clinical psychologist since 2018 with people of all ages, and with a range of concerns. These have included phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression, anxiety (health, social and generalised), hair pulling, skin picking, relationship conflict, and the social and emotional challenges associated with autism and ADHD.

I provide regular clinical supervision to other clinical and counselling psychologists working independently, or in the medico-legal field.

Tackling Stigma

I believe we all have a role to play in the reduction of stigma. Let’s try to talk more openly about our own experiences and get rid of the notion there is a distinction between physical and mental health. Mind and body are connected. There is ONLY health and wellbeing.
