1-2-1 Therapy
Personalised Support for Adults and Young People

At Thames Valley Care, I offer personalised 1-2-1 therapy sessions using evidence-based approaches like CBT and MBT. Whether you're struggling with addiction, stress, depression, or relationship issues, I provide therapy that is adapted to address your specific difficulties.

Therapy can be in-person or online, depending on what works for you.

Expert Witness Services
Specialist Reports and Assessments

In addition to therapy, I provide specialised expert witness services across the UK. My experience as a clinical psychologist in Wokingham includes mental capacity evaluations, personality difficulties assessments, forensic and risk assessments, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) evaluations, and assessments related to mental illness and substance misuse.

As a clinical psychologist with over 15 years in practice, I understand the importance of impartial, thorough psychological assessment for legal, court, and tribunal settings. I offer detailed, well-evidenced reports and clear communication with solicitors, tribunals, and employers. My focus on ethical, confidential practice means you can trust Thames Valley Care when you need expertise for mental health claims.

Supervision
Support for Psychologists and Trainees

I also provide supervision services for both qualified psychologists and those still in training. Professional supervision is essential for growth, reflection, and maintaining high standards in clinical work. At Thames Valley Care, I aim to create a supportive, open space where practitioners can discuss their caseloads, reflect on professional challenges, and develop clinical skills.

With many years of NHS and private practice experience, I support supervisees dealing with complex case formulations, therapy process questions, as well as their own professional development. My supervision sessions are confidential and grounded in the latest psychological research and therapeutic models, including CBT and MBT.
