Biography

I’m an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist, having completed my Doctorate at the Institute of Psychiatry, London. I have worked in a specialist NHS eating disorder service for children, adolescents and adults for the last ten years, with a particular interest in Anorexia. Prior to this, I specialised in paediatric psychology.

approach to treatment

My approach is warm, friendly and collaborative. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all treatment. I can draw from multiple evidence-based therapies to create a bespoke treatment plan that best meets your needs and wishes. I understand that therapy can feel daunting and I want to create a space where you feel safe and listened to.

areas of interest / specialism

Alongside TLC, I work as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in a specialist all age NHS eating disorder service. I have a particular interest in SPEAKS therapy, an integrative treatment for chronic anorexia in adults that focuses on emotion. I have specialist experience of working with younger clients and their families during adolescence and early adulthood. I have experience of working with neurodivergent clients of all ages and understand the importance of making adaptations to treatment where there are co-occurring conditions.

That anorexia is a choice. It isn’t – it is a serious illness with associated changes to the brain and body. It requires compassion and understanding. With the right specialist treatment, it is possible for people to recover and live healthy and happy lives.
