About me
I am an experienced Educational Psychologist and an accredited Therapist, based in Gloucestershire, offering services directly to schools, Local Authorities, individuals; both in person and online.
-
In my role as an Educational Psychologist, I provide psychological assessment, consultation, intervention and therapy to schools. I also offer supervision, wellbeing support and mentoring to school staff and other professionals. I am available for longer term contracts (prefered) or on an ad-hoc basis with schools and clusters of schools.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your specific school needs.
-
Part of the week I work as a Therapist from my private therapy practice near Stroud (or online), with a range of ages (adults, young people and children). I work in an integrative way drawing on different psychological approaches. This allows me to tailor therapy to meet the individual needs of each client. These approaches include Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (also known as ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (also known as CFT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (also known as EMDR) and Jungian Sandplay Therapy.
Please get in touch if you would like to discuss indivdual therapy sessions.

A mandala has been described as a psychological expression of the Self.
'I sketched every morning in a notebook a small circular drawing, a mandala, which seemed to correspond to my inner situation at the time.'
