I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist working privately from my office in the Carnaby Street area. In addition I work at Oxleas NHS Foundation Trust with young people and their families. Prior work has included working with adults at the Assessment and Treatment Service in Hertfordshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, and more than four years experience working with adults with a wide range of problems including anxiety, trauma, depression, and low self esteem, at the Londres Psychology Practice, the Medical Foundation, Kids Company in London, and IRCT in Denmark. Working in the NHS, the charity sector and privately across a wide variety of settings, has provided me with a valuable opportunity to experience working with individuals with a wide range of problems across all ages. During all my posts I have gained experience in multiple therapeutic models, all of which have contributed to my evolving integrative approach. This has been particularly important and useful for formulating complex and diverse problems and adapting and constructing creative solutions and approaches appropriate to the problem and its context, providing a rich and comprehensive understanding.
