Overview
I am a Clinical Psychologist in the United Kingdom. I currently work part-time in adult mental health services in the NHS. I am work as a university Clinical Lecturer, delivering teaching and conducting research. I have had a special interest in compassion focused therapy (CFT) since the beginning of my clinical training. Since then, I have utilised CFT for 1:1 therapy under supervision from CFT practitioners. I have also participated in the running of CFT group for individuals seeking support with their mental health. I offer online therapy, mostly during the evenings.

I have been delivering 1:1 CFT for 4 years, under the supervision of practitioners who have received training in, and are passionate about, CFT. I have been most influenced in my CFT practice by Dr Tobyn Bell. Dr Bell supervised me clinically during my clinical training, and was also my primary supervisor for my doctoral thesis. Together we explored shame memories and Compassion-Focused chairwork techniques, which resulted in the thesis being published. I have since delivered training on CFT and CFT related topics, such as Compassion-Focused chairwork, to teams of professionals. As a clinical psychologist in the NHS, I continue to deliver 1:1 CFT to clients presenting with severe and enduring mental health difficulties.
