ABOUT
Clinical Background
I am a qualified and accredited psychologist with over 15 years of clinical experience across both outpatient and residential settings. At Basuto, I work alongside the GP team to provide integrated mental health care — meaning your therapist and your doctor communicate directly about your treatment.
I trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to an advanced level. EMDR is recommended by both NICE and the World Health Organisation as a frontline treatment for trauma and PTSD. I use it to treat single-incident trauma, complex PTSD, and trauma-related anxiety.
I am accredited by the Federation of Drug and Alcohol Professionals (FDAP), which reflects my extensive experience in addiction therapy. I work with patients dealing with alcohol dependency, substance misuse, gambling, and behavioural addictions — coordinating with the GPs at Basuto for safe detox protocols when needed.
My therapeutic approach draws on CBT, EMDR, motivational interviewing, and psychoeducation. I also work with patients on ADHD management, relationship difficulties, performance and executive stress, and couples counselling. Sessions are available weekly or fortnightly.

Patient Reviews
What Our Patients Say
★★★★★
Called at 9am, seen by 11am. The GP spent a full 25 minutes with me, arranged blood tests and a referral. My NHS wait would have been 3 weeks minimum. Worth every penny.
— Tom R.
★★★★★
I needed a sick note urgently for work and couldn’t get an NHS appointment. Basuto saw me same day, the GP was thorough and professional, and I had my note within the hour.
— Claire D.
★★★★★
The difference between 7 minutes at the NHS and 30 minutes here is night and day. The doctor actually listened, examined me properly, and explained everything. I’ve now registered as a member.
