Southbank Team

Person-centred care is the guiding principle that governs my work as a psychologist. My style of practice is quite dynamic, which means that I take guidance from you about how you want your treatment and sessions to be structured. I will work with you to understand your unique concerns and goals for therapy.

I belive that building a safe and non judgmental space is integral to therapy. Our initial focus will most likely be building your insight and helping you to understand the unhelpful patterns that impact your daily life and cause you emotional, behavioural or relationship problems. Drawing on this understanding, I will support you to develop practical skills to help deal with your difficulties and increase your psychological wellbeing.

I have experience working with people of all age groups from 16+ but primarily work with adults, focusing on younger adults. I also provide couples therapy using a Schema Therapy approach.

I have am also a Board Approved Supervisor and offer clinical supervision to provisionally and generally registered psychologists. I also offer primary and secondary supervision to psychologists completing the Clinical Psychology Registrar program.

I am a psychologist who works with adolescents and adults experiencing a range of emotional, behavioural, and mental health difficulties. I have experience supporting individuals, across the lifespan, within community, forensic, paediatric, and healthcare settings and have worked with people presenting with concerns including anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma-related difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, substance use concerns, life transitions, and behavioural difficulties.

My approach to therapy is flexible and tailored to the individual. I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach, and work collaboratively with clients to understand their experiences, identify goals, and develop strategies that support change. I value creating a therapeutic space where people feel comfortable showing up as themselves and where challenges can be explored openly, safely, and without judgement.

I recognise that reaching out for support can feel like a significant step. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is an important part of my work, and I aim to create an environment where clients feel supported while building insight, strengthening existing skills, and developing new ways of responding to challenges.

I draw on evidence-based approaches and adapt therapy to each person's individual needs, strengths, and goals to support meaningful and lasting change.

I understand that reaching out for support can feel overwhelming at times. I aim to build a strong therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, heard, and supported during the therapy process, and focus on helping clients develop insight, build skills, and feel more confident managing the challenges they are facing.

I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing a range of presentations including difficulties with emotion regulation, challenging behaviours and trauma, as well as neurodevelopmental conditions such as ADHD and autism. I have a particular interest in neurodiversity, including how ADHD and autism can present differently in women and impact identification, support, and treatment, and the relationship between neurodiversity and trauma.

I am also passionate about supporting parents and families through education, strategies and family sessions to help foster positive child and family wellbeing and improve day to day functioning.
