I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 15 years’ experience gained within the NHS and community mental health services, specialising in weight management, behaviour change, trauma, and psychological support for those adjusting to life-limiting illness.

My professional background includes six years as a Clinical Psychologist in Health Psychology and Oncology & Palliative Care. In this role, I provided specialist psychological support to individuals navigating long-term chronic health conditions, cancer diagnoses, ongoing treatment, and end-of-life care. I also support clients with weight management and behaviour change, collaborating with dietitians using evidence-based frameworks such as CBT and ACT.

I hold a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Hertfordshire and am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). My clinical approach integrates CBT, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment theory, and EMDR, bespoke to the individual needs of each client. Furthermore, I have worked extensively in addressing complex trauma through my work with refugees and asylum seekers.

Key areas of specialist expertise:
• Weight management and sustainable behaviour change
• Psychological adjustment to cancer and palliative care
• Adult mental health, trauma-informed care, and psychological injury
• Health psychology and coping with chronic physical illness
