I like to take time to listen and enjoy working in a warm, collaborative manner. My approach is based on evidence from research and my clinical experience working in general mental health, specialist psychotherapy and eating disorder services. But each person is the expert on their own situation - everyone is unique and needs something a bit different. I provide specialist psychiatric assessments, diagnosis, comprehensive treatment recommendations including medication for psychiatric difficulties e.g. depression, anxiety, autistic spectrum.
I particularly enjoy working with people, who wish to deepen their understanding of themselves and the unconscious patterns and drivers that are keeping them stuck or contributing to their difficulties. I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy, to help with problems of living, to reduce emotional distress and stress and to expand personal possibilities.
A specialty is holistic care for adolescents and adults with a range of eating, shape and weight concerns, from mild symptoms to severe disorders e.g anorexia, bulimia, ARFID, binge eating. I recommend early treatment to prevent more serious conditions from developing. I offer assessment, evidenced-based psychotherapies and pharmacological treatment.
