Psychology Services & Expertise
Qualifications & Approach
I am an HCPC-registered Chartered Counselling Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society (AFBPsS). Since becoming a Counselling Psychologist in 2021, I've worked in the NHS and privately, helping families, couples, teens, and individuals manage stress, anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, psychosis, self-harm, and suicidality.
Experience & Clientele
My clients include emergency responders, Government employees, television presenters, and documentary journalists. I've supported people with cancer in the psycho-oncology department of a large London teaching hospital and in a charity setting, delivering one-to-one therapy and group sessions. I've also helped families experiencing complex trauma and was an associate at King's College, London, working with students to manage their mental health.
Publications & Research
Most of my work is on recovery after tough times, including my first book 'Rise: a first aid kit for getting through tough times'. My research on positive growth and recovery after adversity has been peer-reviewed and published in academic journals. Recently, I've published another original research paper on self-compassion and self-criticism in those with cancer, with another under peer review. My next book, on living well with anxiety, is published in Spring 2026.
