About me

My experience as a Clinical Psychologist has included over 16 years working within the NHS and private sector. Alongside carrying out autism assessments, I work as a specialist trauma therapist within the NHS. I enjoy supporting individuals to build an understanding of their strengths, difficulties and support needs. I approach my role as a clinical psychologist with empathy, warmth and acceptance.  I understand that it can feel hard to approach for an assessment so I focus on supporting clients to feel comfortable and heard.
