About Us

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working in the NHS, specialising in child and adolescent mental health.  This has allowed me to gain extensive experience in working with children, adolescents, young people, siblings and parents to overcome a wide range of psychological, emotional and behavioural difficulties.

I specialised for over 10 years at Derriford Hospital in Plymouth, Devon working with children and young people with physical health conditions and associated difficulties such as anxiety and low mood. I then started working for a Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMHS) Team in South Devon, where I have worked as Clinical Lead for a service for young people with eating disorders. I continue to work in the CAMHS team part-time alongside working for The Family Psychology Practice.

I have completed additional training in a wide range of therapeutic approaches including: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; Narrative Therapy, Family Therapy and Attachment-based Therapies, Adolescent-Focused Therapy for Anorexia, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness-based Therapies. I am also currently completing training in EMDR.  I feel passionately about my ability to integrate all of these models into my work, allowing me to truly tailor the way I work to meet the needs of each individual and family.

When I am not working, I love to spend time outdoors in the Devon countryside with my children and dog.

I have worked with children and families for over 20 years in a variety of different roles and have over 14 years’ experience working in the NHS within Child and Adolescent Mental Health services (CAMHS).  I studied in London at the Institute of Family Therapy and moved to Devon in 2017 where I met and began working with Elene. 

Throughout my career, I have worked in several different CAMHS teams across the country and worked with children and families with a range of presenting difficulties including eating disorders, OCD, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, and many more.

As a family therapist, I am trained in a range of different approaches to therapeutic work and hope to be able to find a method that feels helpful for you and/or your family.  I have a lot of experience working with families, parents, couples and also individuals, and pride myself on creating a safe and non-judgmental space where we can think about difficulties and nurture change. 

Outside of work I enjoy being outdoors (especially when it’s sunny!), and spending time with family and friends.  I love going to the beach and having a nice cup of tea watching the world!  

I am a Clinical Psychologist who specialises in working with children, young people and adolescents. I have over 15 years of experience supporting children and young people with complex emotional and behavioural difficulties in a range of settings, including Social Care, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) and early intervention within primary schools.

I currently work as a Clinical Lead for Therapy for a child psychology service in Devon alongside my work with The Family Psychology Practice, and previously worked in CAMHS for many years in London and Devon. I have extensive experience of providing support to young people experiencing a range of difficulties including low mood, anxiety, OCD, trauma, emotional dysregulation and attachment difficulties.

I have additional training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for children and young people, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy with families and Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy with adopted young people and their families. I am able to use my clinical experience to develop a trusting therapeutic relationship with young people and their families and provide a caring therapeutic intervention to improve wellbeing.

I love living in Devon with my family where we enjoy visiting all the beautiful beaches and going for walks on Dartmoor. 

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over ten years experience working in a variety of different mental health settings and supporting people across the lifespan with a range of difficulties. I am especially passionate about working with young people and their families to fulfil their goals and work towards living a rich, full, and meaningful life.

I currently work in a community Child and Adolescent Mental  Health Service (CAMHS) alongside working for The Family Psychology Practice. I have previously worked in an IAPT service and an adolescent inpatient hospital. I have extensive experience of providing support to young people struggling with a range of difficulties, including low mood, anxiety, OCD, and emotional dysregulation.

In my work with families I use a range of evidence-based models including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). My work is also informed by attachment theory and systemic therapy. I am able to use all of these models in my work, which means I can tailor sessions to work with individuals in the way that is most helpful to them.

Outside of work, I spend lots of time with family and friends. I also love reading and enjoy exploring independent and second-hand bookshops!
