ABOUT ME
I'm an experienced clinical psychologist specialising in child and adolescent mental health difficulties. Alongside work in an NHS Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS), I run a small private practice and am able to offer evening appointments for young people and families.
I also work with young adults and adults of working age as part of my private practice.
I'm currently offering virtual sessions only at the moment, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
EXPERIENCE
I completed my doctoral training in clinical psychology (DClinPsy) at the University of Bath and thereafter have specialised in child and adolescent mental health, working in a busy CAMHS providing specialist psychological interventions amongst other roles.
My work is mostly grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and I am accredited with the British Association for the Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) which is the only regulatory body for CBT in the UK. This means you can be sure I have the relevant qualifications, experience and recognition to provide CBT.

SESSION INFO
-
Sessions are generally between 50-60 minutes and are charged at a standard rate of £100. Initial sessions may be charged at a higher fee.
-
When working with children, sessions are often conducted just with the child, although understanding the parents' perspective is essential and they will be expected to be involved in the therapeutic process. The extent to which a parent will be involved will depend on our understanding of the issue itself, the young person's choice and their age. The younger a child the more a parent is likely to be involved.
