Experience

I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist specialising in child and adolescent mental health. I have over 18 years experience in the NHS treating a wide range of mental health problems and psychological difficulties. I have developed a strong multi disciplinary network of professionals and consult closely with colleagues to provide an integrated service. In addition to my clinical work, I have taught on the Masters Course for Developmental Psychology and Clinical Practice  at UCL and the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families and was the Module Lead for Assessment and Planning Clinical Interventions. 

​

Over time, I have developed a special interest in eating disorders and held the position of Therapy Lead and Team Leader for the Vincent Square Children and Young People's  Community Eating Disorder Service in Central London.  

 

Alongside my Independent Practice I provide psychological support to staff as the Clinical Psychologist in the Health & Wellbeing Team at Kingston Hospital NHS Trust. Many health professionals are currently experiencing work related stress or burnout and I am keen to  help them understand what contributes to this and what is in their control to feel more effective and fulfilled at work.

​

I am an experienced clinical supervisor and as a CBT Trained supervisor and BABCP accredited CBT Therapist, have offered Specialist CBT supervision to many professionals training in CBT and seeking BABCP accreditation. I have delivered bespoke training workshops to CAMHs staff (Trust Wide), GP's and School Staff and been invited to contribute to the PHSE curriculum at several large secondary schools.
