About Me
Experience
Alongside my private practice, I currently work as a Highly Specialist Counselling Psychologist with the East Midlands Cancer Alliance Centre for Psychosocial Health (EMCA-CPH), where I provide psychological support to cancer patients and their families. I am also Co-Clinical Director at The Northampton Therapy Rooms.
My previous experience spans a variety of settings, including East London NHS Foundation Trust, The Royal Marsden Hospital, local hospices, GP surgeries, other NHS hospitals, as well as roles in both the private and voluntary sectors. Over the years, I have also contributed to teaching and consultancy work.
Although I am trained to work with a wide range of psychological difficulties, I have a particular interest in long-term health conditions, palliative care, and bereavement.
