Clinical Psychologist
I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and an Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society and registered with the HCPC as a 'Practitioner Psychologist'. I have worked in the field of psychology since 2002 , began in the NHS in 2004 and continue to work there part-time in addition to working privately, which I have done since 2013. I am based in South West London but offer the majority of sessions and assessments remotely which means services are accessible from the comfort of your own home, wherever you are based.
I am an accredited ASD assessor, enabling me to assess and diagnose Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in adults and children. I am also considered a specialist assessor of ADHD and I have many years of experience in working with developmental conditions and neurodiversity.
I also have experience in working with a variety of problems and difficulties (mostly with adults and young people over 16) with both neurotypical and neurodiverse people including:
Depression and low mood
Anxiety
Trauma reactions including PTSD and developmental trauma
Stress (including workplace difficulties)
Relationship difficulties
Managing diagnoses
General psychological formulations i.e. “what is contributing to and maintaining the difficulties and what could help?” This is a helpful approach for people who are not seeking a specific diagnosis but who may be curious about their own psychology/ mental health and wellbeing
These are some of the most common issues I work with; if you need to talk about something different, please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss. If I am not in a position to help you, I will try my best to put you in touch with someone who can.
