About Me

I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist with nearly 15 years' experience of working in adult mental health. I specialise in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), working with high achieving individuals experiencing stress or burnout. Other related areas of expertise include - but are not limited to - anxiety disorders, perfectionism, depression, and low self-esteem.

My depth of experience – including having held a Senior Psychologist role in the NHS – means that I am able to practice in a flexible way that works for you in order to help you reach your goals.

I stay at the forefront of clinical practice and use a range of therapies, including CBT, to work with people who are struggling with psychological difficulties – from severe and complex mental health problems, to those who simply want to understand themselves better. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a central component of successful therapy, which is why I provide a warm, supportive, non-judgemental space to help you feel at ease. We will work together to identify your hopes and come to a shared understanding of your difficulties, in order to enable and support change.

How can I help?

I aim to help people improve their psychological wellbeing, reduce distress, and to make meaningful changes in their lives. I offer both short and longer term psychological therapy and can help with a wide range of difficulties including, but not limited to:

Anxiety

Low Mood and Depression

Work or Exam Related Stress

Sleep Problems

Low Self-esteem

Trauma

Relationship Issues

Feeling 'stuck' in life

I provide an integrated approach to therapy as I believe that no one model of therapy can fit everyone all of the time. The main approach I use is cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), however, I also utilise ideas from third wave approaches including mindfulness and acceptance and commitment therapy. I work closely with people to identify unhelpful patterns that might be contributing to their difficulties, and strategies to cope with them.

Experience & Qualifications

I worked in the NHS for over a decade, most recently as a Senior Clinical Psychologist in an Early Intervention in Psychosis Service. Prior to this, I was based in a secondary care community mental health team working with adults with a wide range of severe and enduring psychological difficulties. In my private work I offer short and long term individual therapy, and I supervise other therapists to help them develop their practice. I have also maintained my links with the NHS by facilitating training courses on various mental health topics to NHS teams across the country. 

I hold the protected title of Clinical Psychologist and am governed by the HCPC, the only legally-recognised body for counselling and psychotherapy. I hold a Chartered status with the British Psychological Society, reflecting the highest standard of psychological knowledge and expertise.

Appointments & Fees

Finding the right therapist might seem like a daunting task, so if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to get in touch and I’d be happy to discuss these with you. You can then decide if you would like to book an assessment appointment. I am also able to recommend other psychologists if I feel they would better suit your specific needs.

If you decide to start therapy we would agree on a therapy plan, including your goals, the number of sessions, and the responsibilities we have towards each other. Sessions last for 50 minutes, usually weekly. In addition to offering appointments at my Monday evening clinic in Farnham, I can also offer online therapy via a secure video link at various times during the week. Please contact me if you would like further details.

Psychological assessments (up to 1 hour): £145
Ongoing therapy sessions (50 minutes): £120
