I am a Consultant Clinical Psychologist in private practice, EMDR Consultant in Training and CBT Therapist. I am the founder of North Star Psychology Ltd, a private psychology service offering both online and in-person therapy, consultation, clinical supervision and consultancy. North Star Psychology Ltd specialises in offering high quality, evidence-based therapies for anxiety and trauma-related difficulties, such as PTSD. I worked as a clinician in the NHS for over 20 years in the field of moderate-severe adult mental health. My last NHS role was as a Consultant Clinical Psychologist, which I left in October 2022. In June 2023 I returned to the NHS as an Associate Non-Executive Director for South West Yorkshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. I enjoy sharing by knowledge of psychological theories and strategies related to behaviour change. My passion is helping people overcome anxiety, intense emotions and trauma-related difficulties, such as post-traumatic stress responses. I also enjoy consulting with teams and organisations, in order to optimise psychological safety and wellbeing and develop trauma-informed practices. I'm accredited in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and have specialist training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I have worked in a range of NHS settings, from psychological therapy services and community mental health teams to inpatient wards. I was the psychology lead for a large CMHT, the clinical lead for an outpatient DBT service and joint clinical lead for an outpatient psychology-led service for people with complex physical and mental health difficulties. My psychology service is based at Eastthorpe Hall (www.eastthorpehall.com) in West Yorkshire. For further details visit www.northstarpsychology.co.uk. I work as an associate for Healthy You Ltd and contributed to the development of and wrote content for the MindYourself app (www.mindyourselfapp.com). I have delivered coaching and training on an Aspiring Leaders Development Programme for people in the NHS. I offer psychological consultation, for example I recently offered consultation and recommendations to improve a programme of psychological support for NHS employees.
