I am a clinical psychologist, experienced and accredited to support people to overcome a range of difficulties through psychological therapy. I have over a decade’s experience working in the NHS and, in my current role, co-lead a busy HIV and Sexual Health Psychology service in London. I specialise in supporting people to enhance their sexual wellbeing and communication, and to find ways that are meaningful for them to connect with others. 

Alongside my NHS role, I also have a private practice in which I offer therapy to adult clients, and supervision and/or consultation to other professionals and teams. Speaking with a therapist for the first time can be daunting experience. One of my key priorities in offering you therapy would be for us to create a space together in which you feel able to talk about what is most important to you. I am keenly aware of the privilege of being invited into your personal world, and am often struck by our essential humanity when talking with clients about how we navigate the challenges and dilemmas of life. 

I am trained in a number of psychological models and will draw on a range of ideas and techniques to find a way of working that fits for you and your therapy goals. I will be keen to understand what it is that you give value to; how you are connected, and would like to connect, with others; how you relate with the different aspects of yourself; and what it is that has sustained you through adversity up until now. I am interested in developing and populating with you less-heard stories and possibilities that fit with how you would most like to see yourself. I have particular experience working with people who have experienced social and/or political marginalisation. In all my work, I am keen to explore the impact of systemic power, privilege and societal discourses on our intersecting identities, as well as opportunities for resistance and preferred directions.
