I am a dual citizen Clinical Psychologist committed to working collaboratively with my clients with the goal of helping you to:

• Deal better with psychological, behavioural and emotional problems
• Build more resilience and flexibility
• Enhance your levels of wellbeing and health

My work is informed by a sound understanding of basic psychological processes, over thirty years clinical experience in New York State, NHS, and private facilities, and a deep belief in people’s capacity to heal.

Individually Tailored Psychological Treatments

People’s problems don’t always neatly fit into one of the diagnostic categories where treatments have been well-researched. As a Clinical Psychologist, I specialize in developing integrative and coherent formulation-based treatments for clients’ difficulties incorporating techniques from different therapeutic models.

Issues I can help with include:

• Excessive anxiety – about what people think about you, about specific tasks or situations, about yourself, about leaving the house, about many things, or just a deep feeling of unease and dread
• Panic attacks
• Intrusive thoughts and images
• Feeling unable to recover from a traumatic event
• Feeling that you have been damaged by hurtful or threatening experiences in your childhood or youth
• Feeling low, hopeless, helpless, sad, irritable, and finding it difficult to motivate yourself to carry out your everyday activities
• Mood swings or intense bouts of emotion that make it difficult for you to do the things you have to do
• Difficulties in relationships and connecting to others
• Problems with your sense of self
• Difficulty controlling behaviours you want to control
• Feeling stressed
• Feeling stuck

A Choice of Different Psychological Therapies

I have training in a number of specific therapies including but not limited to:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT),
• Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR)
• Schema Therapy,
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
• Emotion Focused Therapy.

Up to Date Skills and Knowledge

Throughout my career I have actively engaged in continuing training and development to further my skills.

I also continue to follow basic psychological research into mind and behaviour:  I believe best practice is an art, but one which grows from science.

I have never lost my fascination with trying to understand how people make sense of their world and interact with each other.
