About Me
I am a Chartered Psychologist and am registered with the British Psychological Society (BPS) and as a Practitioner Psychologist with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
In addition to my private therapy work, I am involved with several other organisations. I currently work within Barnet, Enfield and Haringey NHS mental health trust in secondary care, where I work with individuals with long and enduring, complex psychological needs.
​
I have worked in a variety of settings including charity organisations such as SANE and the Holocaust Survivors Centre. I have also worked at the National Problem Gambling Clinic and within Eating Disorder Specialist services, including Rhodes Wood Hospital.
​
I completed my Doctorate in Counselling Psychology at City University. My doctoral research, under the supervision of Dr Jessica Nielsen-Jones, looked at challenges and barriers to treatment for individuals who had undergone treatment for problem gambling and I have also worked extensively clinically with individuals presenting with disordered gambling. While problem gambling remains an area of expertise, I am interested in working with individuals who wish to understand themselves better.
​
In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, music and nature.
