I am a Chartered Clinical Psychologist and HCPC registered practitioner with over 20 years’ experience working across NHS, community and independent mental health services.

I completed my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Exeter and have worked extensively with adults experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties and complex psychological presentations.

My approach combines clinical expertise with warmth, curiosity and compassion. I aim to provide a thoughtful and grounded therapeutic environment where people feel safe enough to reflect openly, better understand themselves, and move towards meaningful change.

Alongside private practice, I have held senior clinical roles within NHS psychological services and have extensive experience working with trauma and high-risk presentations in community mental health settings. This has included supporting people following adverse life experiences, abuse, neglect, loss, workplace trauma and complex relational difficulties.

I integrate a range of evidence based psychological approaches depending on individual needs, including trauma focused therapy, EMDR, cognitive behavioural approaches, compassion focused work and relational therapy.

In addition to clinical practice, I provide training and consultation for organisations and professionals working in emotionally demanding roles. I am co-founder and co-director of Real Life Psychology, which delivers trauma informed training, reflective practice and psychologically informed resources to healthcare, social care and third-sector organisations.

I am also co-author of Train Your Brain: A Model to Help Understand and Regulate Emotions (Rygh & Morgan, 2025), a psychologically informed resource designed to support emotional understanding, resilience and self-regulation.
