I am a Clinical Psychologist based in South London and registered with the Health Care Professionals Council (HCPC). I have worked in the NHS since 2013, and in my current role as a Clinical Psychologist since 2020. I have worked with clients experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, burnout, low mood, trauma and personality difficulties, in a variety of NHS settings, including community, hospital and prison.
In my work, I use an attachment-based, trauma-informed approach to provide a safe and containing therapeutic space. I am trained in a number of evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Schema Therapy. I like to draw on a range of therapeutic models to support each person’s individual needs. I have experience working with neurodiverse clients.
Coming to therapy can be a daunting experience, and I aim to provide a space in which my clients can feel safe and comfortable to make sense of their difficulties. This may be through thinking about patterns in the here-and-now, or through exploring the past experiences which have contributed to their current difficulties. I also believe it is important to recognise the way in which our social and cultural environment shapes the way we experience the world, and in particular to acknowledge the impact of inequality and discrimination on mental distress. I offer a compassionate and non- judgmental approach, and value each individual as the expert in their own experience.
I see clients online as well as in person in East Dulwich.
