CAREER HISTORY

I founded and run a Psychotherapy & Counselling Private Practice. This work is predominantly online due to Covid-19 but I also see a limited number of patients in-person at my clinic in London Bridge. This work includes seeing individuals and couples. My expertise is in trauma recovery, young people, long term health conditions and within the LGBTQI+community, however I see patients from many different backgrounds with various different mental health needs. My practice is intersectional, friendly and non-judgemental. I use an integrated modality, including Person-Centred and Psychodynamic theories to achieve the best psychological interventions for patients and clients.   

​

As a trauma expert I present The Trauma Talks podcast, a show that explores different experiences of trauma each episode. In addition, I work as a psychological participation lead, trainer and advisor in multiple capacities. Recently this has included: 

​

• Psychological adviser: the short film, Kin directed by Ruby Cedar

• Assessing and creating the impact report for SurvivorsUK: From the physical to the digital Migrating SurvivorsUK male sexual trauma survivors Group Work online during the Covid-19 pandemic and infographic sheets

• Clinical training in digital trauma support: for NAPAC (National Association for People Abused in Childhood) in creating trauma informed digital group programmes and psychological support groups

• Articles on trauma in various publications: Happiful, Therapy Today, The Private Practice Journal, Counselling Directory  and more.

Psychotherapist 2017 - 2022

In 2017 SurvivorsUK, a charity that provides psychotherapy and advice for boys, men and Trans & non-binary people aged 13+ who have survived rape, sexual trauma or abuse, asked me to create and deliver a new group therapy model for their men’s service. 

After establishing a successful model for men’s group therapy I expanded this work by creating and delivering clinical group models for boys (13 - 19 years old) and the Trans and non-binary service. These services run as weekly group sessions as well as monthly check-in and wellbeing sessions. 

The Association for Young People’s Health is the UK’s leading charity working to improve the health and wellbeing of 10-24 year olds. 

I design and implement methodologies for research projects, run participation with young people and create youth led, disease or condition specific reports. This work covers a broad range of health concerns including; mental health, long term health conditions, acute and chronic conditions as well as social determinants and health inequalities.  

This work informs service design, public health and policy and is often undertaken in partnership with universities, the NHS, Dept. of Health or the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities.
