I am down to earth and easy to engage with. I have 27 years post qualification experience in the NHS in working with adults with mental health problems. I have worked with adults with a variety of difficulties- for example, psychosis, hearing voices, trauma, anxiety, OCD, depression, low self esteem, health anxiety, neuropsychological difficulties etc. I was a clinical lead in adult mental health and a lead consultant psychologist in acute services and crisis teams for 15 years. I have experience in working for several years with long term mental health problems in a rehab and recovery setting, as well as working with adults, young people and families within clinical health (medical) settings. I have also worked with adults who are affected by visible difference and appearance distress as well as physical health conditions. I have specialist training in Compassion Focussed therapy (CFT) and acceptance and commitment therapy, (ACT). I have also worked with the Professional support unit offering therapy for doctors and health professionals.
I offer a bilingual, ethical, honest and realistic service.
