I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the Health Professionals Council with over 10
years of experience working within the field of mental health. My particular area of expertise is
General Adult Mental Health with a specialist interest in Eating Disorders. I have developed
expertise in the assessment and treatment of a wide range of areas including psychological
distress associated with personal injury, post-traumatic stress syndrome, occupational stress,
adjustment disorder, phobic disorder, depression and anxiety disorders. I am currently
