Working with you today, for a better tomorrow.
Initial Assessment/First Appointment
An assessment allows us to understand one another a bit better. It allows me to get to know you, some of your experiences; what you need from accessing the service and what I might do to help. It also allows you to learn how I work; my style, and if you think we will work well together. An initial assessment or consultation is necessary for anyone who may require my services before undertaking any further work.
Consultation
A consultation can give you a psychologist's clinical expertise. This can involve working with parents or carers, educational settings such as schools, organisations or organisational issues. It can also include answering questions about psychology or mental health, or providing ad hoc supervision for professional colleagues seeking a psychologist's experience. If you'd like support for your own well-being or mental health, I'd recommend contacting me for an initial assessment/therapy instead.
Individual therapy
Counselling/therapy can be helpful for anyone at any point in time, for different reasons. To help you understand it a bit better, we would first complete an assessment to understand what you may be struggling with and how we can work together to support you. After that, we would usually have regular 50-minute sessions in which we continue to make sense of your difficulties and explore what might help you achieve your therapeutic goals.
​
Children and Young People: Children and young people often need a different approach to adults. Having worked with children and young people in the NHS, educational settings and within the charity sector, I have experience working with a range of children and young people; from diverse backgrounds and with a diverse range of difficulties. Parents/Carers are involved in the therapeutic support offered to children.
Workshops & Training
I offer workshops and training to professionals from different backgrounds, including psychology, healthcare, therapy, educational settings, private and public sector services and organisations. Check out the expertise section of my website to see the range of topics I can deliver training and workshops in. Workshops and training can also include trauma-informed care and practice, embedding cultural change in an organisation, and addressing work-related stress. Training may also be specific to psychological therapies, including the topics mentioned above and working with children, working with mental health presentations such as anxiety, depression, burnout and psychological formulation. If you have any specific enquiries, please contact me, and I will be happy to discuss further.
Couples and Family Therapy
Couples and family therapy allow us to work together to make sense of what's working and what feels difficult in the relationship(s). As a trained systemic therapist, I consider all aspects of the relationship and view the relationship as my client, rather than the couple/family.
​
By taking this approach, we're able to think sensitively and without judgment about shared and individual goals, and how to work together to achieve your therapeutic goals.
Clinical & Research Supervision
If you're looking for a clinical supervisor, I have experience in supervising qualified professionals and trainees. I have worked with psychologists (Counselling and Clinical, including trainees), as well as counsellors, psychotherapists, and professionals who take a more creative approach in their work, such as HCPC registered art therapists. I have trained in humanistic, psychodynamic, systemic and cognitive behavioural therapies. I am a reflective practitioner and comfortable supervising both trainees and qualified professionals.
​
I am a published researcher and have contributed to multiple research projects. I can support research supervision and development, and make research contributions.
