I have worked with children and adults from a diverse range of backgrounds in many different settings. I have extensive experience in working with people who have experienced the following:
- Low mood and depression
- Anxiety disorders (e.g. generalised anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety, and obsessive compulsive disorder)
- Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and childhood trauma
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (C-PTSD)
- Difficulties with managing and regulating emotions
- Difficulties with boundary setting and communication
- Overthinking, critical thinking, low self-esteem and perfectionism
- Adjusting to being diagnosed as neuro-diverse and the impact of being neurodiverse on work, relationships and mental health (e.g. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Autism Spectrum Condition, Intellectual disability)
- Cultural, racial and intergenerational trauma.
As a clinical psychologist, I consider and hold in mind numerous psychological and therapeutic approaches in my work. This multifaceted approach will enable us to think collaboratively from multiple perspectives during our therapy sessions, which will allow us to develop a rich understanding of you, the world you live in and the challenges you are facing. Below I describe some of the psychological approaches which I am particularly mindful of in my work.
