I am a registered and insured Practitioner Psychologist, and Chartered Health Psychologist specialising in a variety of physical and mental health difficulties. I have a clinic in Westbury-on-Trym in Bristol, with additional appointments available in Cotham and Clifton village on request. I am registered with a number of insurance companies including Axa, Aviva, Vitality Health, Willis Towers Watson, Aetna Global and Helix Health Services. If you have mental health cover with any of these companies, they may be able to cover the cost of some or all of your sessions. You can check with them how many sessions will be covered and whether you will need a referral from your GP. My practice supports clients to develop the knowledge, skills and confidence to manage mental health issues (such as anxiety and depression, stress, worry or panic) and long-term conditions (for example, thyroid disorders, diabetes, chronic pain, chronic fatigue, COPD and asthma, medically unexplained symptoms, PMDD and cancer). I also help people wanting to identify personal values and goals and make positive and meaningful changes in their everyday lives despite difficulties and challenges they may face. This may include developing life skills (such as effective communication and time management), or specialist support in relation to physical health (such as smoking, improving sleep, alcohol consumption, weight management and healthy eating, movement/physical exercise, lifestyle choices and habit change). I provide psychological interventions to build emotional and physical resilience after a change in life circumstances such as a job loss, chronic or acute illness, or other setbacks which may increase stress, anxiety and worry.
