I am an experienced Chartered Clinical Psychologist with a specialist focus on child and adolescent mental health. Based in the South East of England—and working nationally where required—I have a particular interest in autism and learning disability.
I have worked extensively within special education settings, delivering bespoke, evidence-based psychological input to schools and colleges. My work supports children and young people with a range of social, emotional, and behavioural needs and is grounded in a deep understanding of the distinctive contexts, challenges, and opportunities within specialist provision.
Alongside individual casework, I offer service-level consultation, with a particular focus on embedding psychologically informed approaches at a systemic level. I am committed to developing innovative models of support that are person-centred, values-led, and aspirational.
My approach is collaborative and integrative, drawing on a range of therapeutic modalities tailored to the needs of each individual and setting. I work closely with staff teams, families, and young people—always mindful of the complex and sometimes competing pressures experienced within education and care systems.
As a practicing clinician, I bring current, real-world insight to the training and professional development I deliver. I have provided CPD and training to a wide range of audiences and have lectured on several clinical and educational programmes. My training is engaging, practical, and closely aligned with the realities of specialist education.
I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and the British Psychological Society (BPS) and work in full accordance with their professional and ethical standards.
