I’m a highly skilled Clinical Psychologist with over 9 years clinical experience working in the NHS and in private healthcare settings. I work across the lifespan, and offer therapy to children, young people, and adults.
If you're experiencing feelings of worry, anxiety, or sadness, know that you're not alone. These struggles are a common part of life, and it's okay to ask for help when you need it. As a Clinical Psychologist, I provide a safe and supportive environment where you can begin to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and learn new strategies to improve your emotional wellbeing.
