I have a Practitioner Doctorate (PsychD) in Clinical Psychology from the University of Surrey and a First Class Honours degree (BSc Hons) in Psychology from Brunel University. I am listed in the BPS Directory of Chartered Psychologists: http://www.bps.org.uk/bps/e-services/find-a-psychologist/register.cfm.  I am also listed in the Counselling Directory: http://www.counselling-directory.org.uk.  I am also registered with the Health Professions Council as a registered Clinical Psychologist: http:www.hpc-uk.org.  I am also accredited as CBT therapist by British Association of Cognitive Behavioural Therapists: www.babcp.com (find a therapist).

My experience to date involve working with adults and young people with a range of psychological and personality difficulties in the NHS, mainly in outpatient settings. I have also worked on an inpatient rehabilitation ward with people with severe enduring mental health problems including psychosis and personality disorders.  I have delivered group therapeutic interventions such as Anxiety Management and Low Self-esteem Groups.  I have experience in conducting a whole range of psychometric assessments.  In addition, I worked with children and also with people with learning disabilities. Therefore, I am experienced to work with people of various ages across their lifespan and with people of diverse intellectual functioning.

My last employment was working for Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire Mental Health NHS Foundation Trust in a Community Mental Health Team. I provided assessments and therapeutic interventions for adults aged 18-65 who presented with a range of mental health problems.  Apart from delivering individual CBT, my work was informed by systemic and psychodynamic models and I also worked with couples and families. 

Currently, in addition to my private work, I work for Berkshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, Talking Therapies service, as a therapist.  I am also a team manager for the Newbury Talking Therapies Team, managing other therapists and psychological wellbeing practitioners.  In my current role, apart from my management responsibilities, I am responsible for organising referrals and delivering cognitive behavioural therapy for depression and anxiety disorders such as generalised anxiety disorder, social anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and health anxiety.  I also work with people with medically unexplained physical symptoms.
