I have over 10 years experience working as a qualified Clinical Psychologist in a range of services including the NHS, Local Authority and private sector.
I am formally trained in the use of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) and the ADHD Child Evaluation version 2 (ACE v.2) diagnostic interview.
I have gained additional qualifications with a Post Graduate Certificate in Family Therapy and Systemic Practice and further therapeutic training in Mentalisation-Based Treatment, Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
My clinical background involves extensive experience working with children, young people and families with complex needs that include mental health, adversity, trauma, attachment, and neurodiversity. I am passionate about working directly with children and young people and with those that care for them (parents, carers) and with other adults or services that support them (Early Help, Social Care, mental health, education).
