About

I believe in seeing my clients in a holistic manner. I take into consideration a wide range of perspectives, from biological to psychological to social angles. Your personal choices and beliefs are important to me and respected. I will work hand in hand with your GP or private prescribing services to deliver the best quality treatment for you. I will work to your satisfaction. I work according to the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines on treating mental health conditions, as well as other relevant research papers.
