Welcome!

I'm Dee and I'm a Clinical Psychologist. I strongly believe in being a down-to-earth, approachable, compassionate psychologist. Life can be tough at times, so we all need to lean on people to support us, and that's exactly what I'm here for.

If you're struggling emotionally (or even if you're not), I will work with you to develop a meaningful and fulfilling life, with a focus on strength and wellness. Building resilience for life-long self-care and emotional wellbeing is key in the work that I do, and I use a range of therapeutic approaches, including both traditional and third-wave therapies: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness-based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and narrative and systemic approaches. I work in a client-led, holistic, integrative and creative way, using client experiences as a base.

I work with individuals across the age-span, and have experience of working both in the NHS and in private practice, with a range of life stressors. These have included: managing emotions (a variety of anxieties and mood-related issues), stress (carer-related, health-related and study/work-related stress), relationship breakdown, family conflict, cultural identity and physical health issues.

Hope that gives you an idea of what we can work together with!
