Clinical Psychologist & Neurodivergent Specialist

All of my work will begin with an initial assessment period so together we can create a formulation of your current experiences and consider which will be the best course of action going forwards. I can provide formal comprehensive assessments alongside a written report for an additional fee. 

​

Together we will find the best ongoing care centred around your personal needs. This may include:

-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

- Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

-Acceptance and Commitment Therapy

- Compassion Focused Therapy

-Integrative Therapies (Systemic/Psychodynamic)

- Onward Referral if required

I can provide psychological support for children, young people and their parents. Most of my work in this area is informed by attachment theory alongside other Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) principles and functional analysis. I am experienced in supporting parents to work on any difficulties they may be having with their children's behaviour and exploring any underlying factors fuelling this. 

​

I am DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy) informed, meaning I work with families to explore emotional bonds and encourage connections.

I provide psychological therapy to adults experiencing difficulties with the following: 

- Depression 

- Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD)

- Panic Disorder

- Health Anxiety 

- Specific Phobia 

- Agoraphobia 

- Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD)

- Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)

- Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)

- Complex/Developmental Trauma - (sometimes labelled as Personality Disorder) 

- Body Dysmorphia 

- Co-morbid conditions such as chronic pain/fibromyalgia. ​

-Neurodivergence (ADHD/Autism)

-Learning Difficulties

I provide consultations within systems that young people may come into contact with such as with school, health and social care organizations. This can be particularly helpful for children who have developmental differences such as autism and/or have experienced trauma. Adapting the environment around people who are struggling can sometimes be enough to achieve positive change. Difficulties can often be the result of the world in which people inhabit, rather than something within themselves. It can be extremely useful for intervention to focus not only on them but the systems they find themselves within.
