In a world where you can be anything... be kind.
My current role
I am the lead psychologist for Cleft-Net-East, the regional cleft lip and palate service.
I am also the lead psychologist for the paediatric ophthalmology team.
In my role, I really enjoy working with young people and their families and listening to their unique personal stories, biopsychosocial journey and perspectives and helping to enhance their psychological wellbeing. I am lucky to be working within several staff teams and systems and we help provide psychologically informed care together.
Previous history
I have a Doctorate in clinical psychology, an MSc in psychology of education, a Diploma in cognitive behavioural therapy with children and adolescents and certifications in family therapy. I have worked within paediatric, child and adolescent mental health and neurodevelopmental team settings over my career.
Membership and accreditations
I am a chartered clinical psychologist registered with the British Psychological Society and the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC).
Personal interests
I love spending time with friends and family, admiring my fluffy pets, spending time on pretty beaches and travelling to see new places. I find it hard to resist Indian food, reading books the old fashioned paper copy way, and definitely cannot resist chocolate!
