Therapy
Who is therapy for?
Everyone (children, adolescents and adults) feels low or worried at some point in their life. Sometimes these feelings will go away on their own. However, for lots of different reasons, and for lots of people, these feelings can persist. This can often make it difficult to carry on with day to day life.
Therapy can help you understand why you feel the way you do and support you with working towards feeling better.
I am able to provide a range of therapeutic approaches (listed below) for a range of presenting difficulties:
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)
Mindfulness
Couples Therapy
Systemic Therapy (Family Therapy)
Kindly Note: I am currently closed to new referrals for therapy, and anticipate this being the case until 2023.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Autism is a lifelong, developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people. Autism also affects how individuals experience the world.
Autistic Spectrum Disorder Assessment
I offer Autism Spectrum Disorder assessments for children, teenagers and adults. The nature of these assessments mean that they are conducted through a team of psychologists with my colleagues at Avenue Therapies.

Professional Consultation, Supervision, Teaching, Training and Workshops
Professional consultation
I am experienced in providing professional consultation to colleagues in a range of settings. Professional consultation can be helpful when working with complex cases or dynamics where an objective point of view or psychologically informed understanding may be useful for promoting change.
supervision
I am experienced in providing supervision to psychology and non-psychology colleagues (namely social workers). A compassion focused, systemic approach to supervision may be helpful for colleagues who are feeling particularly "stuck" with a case or an organisational dilemma.
Teaching
I have worked as a guest lecturer at Canterbury Christchurch University and the University of Surrey. I have collaborated and published scientific research forming part of the Clinical Intervention and Practice Research Group at the University of Surrey.
training and workshops
I have worked in collaboration with a group of Psychologists to provide training and workshops to businesses and schools (where workshops have been designed to support teachers and parents with a given presenting issue such as managing anxiety).
