About

I am a Chartered Consultant Clinical Psychologist with a specialist interest in working with young adults upwards from 18 years of age, and adults with a range of neuro-developmental difficulties and associated emotional difficulties. I specifically work with people with Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASCs) and the associated difficulties which these conditions can bring about. Since completing Clinical Psychology training at the Institute of Psychiatry, in 1994, I specialised in working with children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental condition and specifically ASCs. as well as providing a clinical psychology intervention service for children and adolescents.

 

I completed my Doctorate in 1997, focussing on diagnostic issues relevant to adolescents with a range of developmental disorders. I worked as a member of a multidisciplinary assessment and diagnostic team as well as managing a team of Clinical Psychologists providing intervention services to children and adolescents with special needs and their families, for ten years. My work extended, to working with adolescents and adults with neurodevelopmental differences and their families, specifically those with High Functioning ASCs.
