Quick facts

Biography

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist who has worked in mental health settings since 2003. I have been a registered Clinical Psychologist since I completed training in New Zealand in February 2009. I am also a trained EMDR practitioner, and Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) practitioner.

approach to treatment

I work as an integrative and evidence based trauma-informed therapist. I will get to know you as a person and aim to understand what matters to you and what is keeping you stuck from living the life you hope for. I will use strategies that are known to work, to help you get unstuck and reach your goals. I have often been described as a caring and perceptive therapist.

areas of interest / specialism

I particularly enjoy working with people struggling with eating disorders and body image problems as I see how common these problems are, and have also seen time and again how people can get away from the snare of an eating disorder by making pointed changes with the ways of thinking and acting that really matter. I know that eating disorder therapy works, and enjoy helping people discover this for themselves.
