About

I am an experienced psychologist with over twenty five years of working alongside adults, children, and families through a wide range of emotional and psychological difficulties. My work spans NHS and private settings, including adult mental health, perinatal services, child and family teams, and specialist parent–infant services. I have taken senior positions, developed services and supervised teams and individuals in the NHS and private sector.

My therapeutic approach is primarily psychodynamic, with a strong focus on understanding how early experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns shape emotional life and current difficulties. I have extensive experience supporting adults with complex and longstanding issues, as well as working therapeutically with children and young people from the early years through to primary school age.

A central part of my practice involves helping parents and caregivers make sense of their own experiences, their relationships with their children, and the emotional worlds they share. This work is grounded in relational-based thinking and an understanding of early development, supporting deeper insight, emotional growth, and healthier relationships over time.

I offer a thoughtful, compassionate, and collaborative way of working, tailoring therapy to each individual or family. I aim to create a safe, respectful space where people of all ages feel heard and understood and where meaningful and lasting change can develop.
