I specialise in helping individuals recover from complex trauma and its long-term psychological effects. My therapeutic approach aims to transform traumatic adaptations into resilience, supporting clients to integrate difficult experiences and build a more flexible, connected, and fulfilling life.

I am a Clinical Psychologist and Psychotherapist. My areas of particular interest include mood and anxiety disorders, psychological trauma, problem behaviours and addiction.

I have a particular interest in anxiety, especially social anxiety. I feel at times men get left “behind” in the health system and do not utilise services as well as they could so I’m keen to promote support around men’s mental health and have done academic research in this area.
