About me

I have been working in mental health settings for over 20 years. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Edinburgh in 2005, subsequently completing my doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of East London.

My NHS background consists largely of working in CAMHS settings and I continue to work with children and adolescents as well as with adult clients in my private practice.

I am an EMDR Europe Accredited Practitioner and Consultant-in-Training. I have an interest in integrating EMDR with IFS.
