Seasoned DBT Therapist, Accredited Psychotherapist, and student Zen Meditation Teacher, with almost a decade of experience supporting people with mental health difficulties. As the Clinical DBT Lead at the Priory Hospital North London, I was awarded the 2023 ‘SMT Award for Therapy Services’ by Priory Group for improving and transforming their DBT Service.I have extensive experience working with Complex Trauma both as a lead facilitator of outpatient DBT groups, and from working on an acute inpatient ward for nearly half a decade. I have particular expertise helping people who have received a diagnosis relating to emotional-dysregulation and post traumatic stress. Such as: PTSD, cPTSD, BPD/EUPD, ADHD, and Schizophrenia. Now in private practice, my 1:1 clinical work includes both short and long term treatments, with a specific focus on helping people develop more awareness, emotional literacy, and healthy happy relationships. In my specialist trauma work, I support individuals suffering with emotional-dysregulation using full model DBT therapy. This includes 1:1s, Skills Group, Telephone Coaching, and Family Group. The central goal here is to help people build a life worth living, so that they can move into remission and ultimately recovery from pervasive emotional instability following trauma. In addition to therapy, I have been teaching Mindfulness in Psychiatric Hospitals, such as the Maudsley Hospital and Priory Hospital North London, for the last seven years. Now I deliver a focused 8 week Zen Meditation program for companies, services, or individuals. This accredited course is aimed at beginners or anyone else interested in self-discovery, improving work-life balance, or seeking long term freedom from stress.
