I am a Chartered Senior Clinical Psychologist who works with young people affected by neurological and mental health conditions. Since completing my clinical training at Royal Holloway University (RHUL), I have worked exclusively with young people affected by a range of neurological conditions including epilepsy, stroke, autism, cerebral palsy, as well as children with mental health conditions such as Anxiety and Depression. I have worked for community CAMHS in schools and currently am part of the team of psychologists working at Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children (GOSH).

I have a private clinic in GOSH where I offer a range of psychological assessments and therapies suited to the individual young person or family. I also offer comprehensive neuropsychological assessments.

Neuropsychological assessments are formal assessments to determine an individual’s unique cognitive profile. This includes assessment of IQ, memory, attention, executive functioning, visuo-spatial skills, handwriting speed etc. I offer families feedback on the results of the assessment and write complex neuropsychological reports where I make recommendations for appropriate support at school and in the home. If appropriate I can also offer time-limited rehabilitation strategies and can give assistance with Education Health and Care Plans for children.

The Psychological therapies I offer aim to help young people explore, understand and overcome difficult emotions or behaviours they are experiencing. I use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Narrative approaches to treat anxiety, low mood, poor self-esteem, OCD among many other difficulties.

I also offer children and families support in adapting to difficult medical diagnosis or treatment they are undergoing. Using a range of therapeutic techniques, I aim to enable young people to live a rich and fulfilling life alongside the medical conditions they are experiencing.

I also offer Parenting work to help parents support their child in the most effective way. This includes difficulties with anxiety, challenging behaviour and toileting issues.

Clinics run in the week and Saturday mornings.
