- Phobias
- Stress
- Low self-esteem and self-confidence

- Other psychological issues: please contact me for an informal discussion. If I do not feel that I have the relevant expertise to support you, I will endeavour to direct you to a suitable service or practitioner.
Working with adults
I can offer specialist psychological assessments and therapy to adults, working from a range of therapeutic models dependent on the needs and preferences of the client.
Working with children and families
I have worked with children and young people in a range of settings, including schools, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), fostering and adoption, and neurodevelopmental services.
Depending on the needs of the child and their family, I work directly with children and young people, or indirectly by working with parents to support their child (or a combination of both, as required).
Specialist Assessments
I have considerable experience of undertaking specialist assessment of learning difficulties and intellectual disability for both children and adults. Please contact me to discuss your requirements.
