Welcome to my website!

​

I am an experienced clinical psychologist in private practice situated in York city centre. From my 15 years experience as a psychologist it is clear to me that we can all struggle with challenging emotions, stress and emotional difficulties. It is simply part of being human. Recent research has shown that one in four of us experience some degree of mental health problem each year. This could be worry, anxiety, grief, or trauma of any kind. Perhaps it's a difficult relationship or work related stress. Whilst we might struggle along with such difficulties sometimes they become too much or too big and we need more support. Psychological therapy is a helpful, highly effective and evidence based way of working with such difficulties. Please see the following pages for more information on how I work and how psychological therapy can help. If you would like further information or you would like to make an initial appointment please get in touch.

Psychological Therapy

​

The decision to start psychological therapy is not always an easy one, and everyone has a different reason for seeking support. I offer an in-depth understanding of psychological difficulties (known as a formulation), which is based on your unique personal circumstances and experience. To inform psychological therapy clinical psychologists use a range of evidence based psychological models and theories (please see the how I work page for more information about the psychological models I use). This understanding helps me to develop a psychological therapy that is tailor made to you as an individual. This is always done in collaboration with you, with respect and compassion.

Your first session

We will usually arrange to speak over the phone before our first session. This enables you to ask any questions you have about seeing a psychologist and consider whether the psychological therapy that I offer is the right fit for you.
