Title
Clinical Psychologist
Who am I?
I am an experienced perinatal clinical psychologist with over 20 years experience of working in the NHS, both in community perinatal mental health teams and in adult community mental health recovery services. I draw upon a range of therapeutic models according to an individual’s difficulties, what they wish to focus on or what they would like to change.
I work with both individuals and couples.
I am registered with the HCPC.
I am registered with BUPA and AVIVA
You might want to see me if:
I work with women and couples who are struggling with the transition to parenthood-either antenatally or postnatally – or women or couples who are struggling with fertility or loss.
I work with people who maybe experiencing a range of difficulties in the perinatal period, for example perinatal depression or anxiety, trauma, (either historical or related to the experiences in the perinatal period e.g. birth trauma), OCD, tokophobia (fear of childbirth).
My Style:
I am a warm and compassionate clinical psychologist who works to firstly make you feel as comfortable as possible. I aim to work collaboratively with you to make sense of your experiences and your struggles.
I work integratively according to your needs, drawing from psychological models such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR) or Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT).
With couples, I am trained in and work with principles from Attachment Narrative Therapy (ANT).
