i am a clinical psychologist with 15 years experience of working in the nhs and running my private practice for 8. currently, i work at the royal free hospital in london, leading a team of psychologists providing psychological interventions for people living with a variety of physical health problems including hiv, sexual health, and cancer.  

i have experience of offering psychological therapy for a broad range of psychological problems including low mood, stress, anxiety, trauma, abuse, racial and migration issues. i believe people are privileged authors of their life and my aim is to find the alternative stories about strengths, resources and values. i take a collaborative and integrative approach to tailor therapy to the unique needs of each person i works with, drawing from a range of therapeutic approaches, including systemic, narrative, cognitive behavioural and acceptance commitment therapy.
