I am a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and registered as a Practitioner Psychologist with the HCPC.  Since completing my Doctorate in 2011 I have worked in the NHS, private sector and the New Zealand Department of Corrections and mental health services.  I have worked with adults, young people, children, families and couples with a range of emotional and behavioural difficulties.
