Clinical Psychologist

“I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years experience of working across the lifespan with all ages incl children and adults.”

About Me

I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, here to guide individuals across the lifespan, from childhood through adulthood. With over 20 years of experience, I offer a safe, collaborative space where we can explore your unique challenges. My broad experience means I can tailor our work to your specific needs. This makes me a supportive guide for anyone seeking clarity and practical ways forward.

Approach

Over twenty years of practice shape a steady, collaborative pace in sessions, where clear structure meets responsiveness to each person’s age and stage. I work from my London base and offer English-language appointments both in person and online, creating a predictable, accessible environment for young children, teenagers and older adults. Sessions combine focused assessment, practical planning and reflective discussion—short tasks between meetings when helpful—so families and individuals can try changes safely. People seeking practical clarity and calm, evidence-informed support often find this way of working helpful.
