About Me
Welcome to
Matters of the Mind
I am a dedicated and highly experienced Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of expertise in providing both in-person and remote psychological therapy from my Berkshire clinic.
With a strong academic foundation, including a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Oxford University, and several years of service in the NHS, I now focus exclusively on private practice. For the past 20 years, I have successfully supported adults through life’s challenges, offering compassionate and tailored support to help you navigate your journey to mental well-being.
I specialise in a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). My goal is to provide personalised care that addresses your unique needs and empowers you to overcome obstacles and achieve lasting well-being.
I am trained in the assessment and diagnosis of ADHD and Autism in adults, using gold-standard tools such as ADOS and ADI-R. My expertise spans a broad range of mental health concerns, including:
With many years of experience, I am known for my compassionate, curious, and individualised approach to therapy. I understand that mental health is complex, and a ‘one size fits all’ method is not effective. That’s why I tailor my therapeutic strategies to meet the unique needs of each client, creating a safe and nurturing space for exploration and growth.
My focus is on helping clients build a robust psychological toolkit of life skills, empowering them to overcome obstacles and achieve lasting well-being. I approach every individual with the utmost care, respect, and compassion, ensuring they feel valued and understood in a supportive environment.
I approach every client with the same care and respect that I would hope to receive myself, or that any member of my family would receive if they were facing mental health challenges. I understand that seeking support is a significant and courageous first step, and I deeply admire anyone who takes that leap and opens themselves up to the possibility of change.
