I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist and DBT Psychotherapist with over 22 years of experience working across private practice, NHS, academia, social services, private organisations, and the charity sector. My approach to therapy is warm, genuine, and relatable, while also grounded and practical. I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship, creating a space where clients feel safe to go deep and openly explore difficult areas of their lives.

At the heart of my work is a deep curiosity about people and a commitment to understanding what has happened to them. I am guided by the belief that with the right values, skills, and knowledge, meaningful change is possible. I aim to take in the whole of a person’s life, helping them understand where they are now, where they want to go, and who they want to be. My long-standing work with marginalised and oppressed communities has shaped a practice grounded in cultural humility and an ongoing awareness of how power, position, privilege, and intersectionality shape our inner worlds and ways of being. In therapy, the whole person is welcomed, and together we work to cultivate more of the life they want to live.

I have extensive experience working with a wide variety of psychological struggles and I feel confident working therapeutically with most forms of human distress in a held, brave, and fiercely compassionate way. I specialise in working with LGBTQI+ people, those who identify as GSRD, and individuals with lived experience of neurodivergence. I have expertise in working with trauma, depression, anxiety, interpersonal and relationship difficulties, anger, self-harm, grief & bereavement, body dysmorphia, sexual difficulties, obsessive–compulsive experiences, and low self-esteem.

In private practice, I work with individuals, couples, and groups. My work draws on a range of therapeutic models, including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Developmental Trauma Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).

I trained at the Faculty of Medicine and Health at Bangor University, UK, where I completed a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. I am also a certified DBT psychotherapist and supervisor. Alongside my clinical work, I am a published researcher with a primary focus on Queer and GSRD experiences. I am an HCPC-registered Practitioner Psychologist and a published poet.
