I am a UKCP accredited Integrated Psychotherapist, working with couples and individuals.
My core profession is clinical psychology, I am an NHS trained Clinical Psychologist and a CIC trained Mindfulness Teacher. I have 20 years’ experience of working within the NHS at a senior level and with people suffering diverse, complex and enduring mental health difficulties.
I embrace working with diversity, having spent several years working with diverse communities in Birmingham, Dudley, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Sandwell and Bloxwich.
I offer face to face therapy at clinics in Bicester, North Oxford and South Oxfordshire. Digital therapy is offered via a secure online platform.
I am a member of the The British Psychotherapy Foundation (BPF) and also of the following regulatory bodies:

I seek to explore and understand a person’s difficulties and needs collaboratively with them, and within a warm and non-judgmental therapeutic relationship. Working together in this way we can come to recognise stuck patterns which might hold us back in our lives.
By kindly understanding how these patterns came to be and what might activate them (often unconsciously), we can develop the potential to better know them when they arise and make a conscious decision to instead head off in a different direction. It is my role to help you recognise these patterns and to support you in making the changes that are acceptable and helpful to you.
My work tends to be emotionally and relationally focused with an analytic emphasis. Whilst I am influenced by Jungian concepts, the breadth of my clinical training allows me to draw from several models to individually tailor therapy to a person’s needs.
These models are evidence-based interventions.
I have trained in the following approaches: cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT); acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT); dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT); mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) and cognitive analytic therapy (CAT). I have taken up further training in Psychodynamic and Jungian Theory with the British Psychotherapy Foundation.
