I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist working in the NHS. I have worked with people with multidimensional and complex problems for many years and in more recent years also with people with a personality disorder. I work with individuals, couples, groups and on rare occasions also with families.
As part of my NHS role, I input to two community mental health teams and assist teams/colleagues make sense of the complexity of symptoms patients present. In collaboration with two clinical psychology colleagues, I also offer consultancy to teams across the Trust that specialise in the care of older people where personality disorder is suspected; this process includes pre and post diagnostic work.Qualifications & Training
