I am a trained Clinical Psychologist and have experience in assessing and successfully treating and supporting children, young people and their families in the following areas:

I also have skills in working in the above areas with children, young people and their families where a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder is suspected or has been assessed and diagnosed. Please contact me to discuss your individual needs.
Whilst I am a highly skilled and experienced practitioner who has skills working with a wide range of difficulties, it is my experience that some people require more intensive and specialist support services. In these instances and with your consent, I will facilitate and support a referral to the appropriate service to ensure that your needs are met in the most appropriate and safest way.
All sessions are currently virtually.
Please contact me for media requests.
*Please note that where a young person presents with a weight for height less than 85% talking therapy is not clinically indicated, due to being physical compromise. Where weight is in a healthy weight range, a clear care plan will be discussed to ensure medical supervision is in place. If you are unsure and wish to discuss, please contact me explore further.
