Clinical Psychology

I have led the psychology service within a regional Spinal Cord Injury Rehabilitation Unit and worked within a Major Trauma service. Through these roles, I have developed particular expertise in supporting adults as they adjust to life-changing injuries, illness and the psychological impact of trauma. Alongside my work in rehabilitation and trauma services, I have extensive experience supporting people living with chronic health conditions and specialist experience working with Functional Neurological Disorders.

Areas of expertise

I have particular experience supporting people with:

• Spinal Cord Injury (SCI)
• Traumatic injury and illness
• Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
• Functional Neurological Disorders (FND)
• Chronic health conditions, including Long Covid and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/ Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS)

My therapeutic approach

My therapeutic approach is evidence-based, compassionate and tailored to each person. I have completed specialist training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT). I draw on these approaches flexibly, adapting therapy to your individual needs, goals and circumstances.

I have a particular interest in the relationship between the mind, body and nervous system. To further explore this connection, I completed yoga teacher training, which has broadened my understanding of how breath, movement and body awareness can support psychological wellbeing and nervous system regulation. I incorporate this understanding thoughtfully into my clinical work where appropriate.

What therapy involves

I believe meaningful therapy begins with a safe, trusting relationship where you feel heard, understood and accepted. Together, we will make sense of the difficulties you are facing and explore how your experiences have shaped the way you think, feel and respond.

From there, we will identify practical steps to help you move towards the life you want to live, drawing on your strengths and values to support lasting change.

Appointments and fees

I offer online appointments and in-person appointments in Sheffield, UK.

Please get in touch for information about fees and availability. I am recognised by major private health insurers, including Aviva, Bupa and Vitality. If you are accessing therapy through a case-managed arrangement, this can also be discussed.
