As a registered Counselling Psychologist and Manager of Recovery Services at Amitola Communities, I provide psychological support and interventions to people with complex mental health and social care needs. I also lead and manage a multidisciplinary team of recovery workers, ensuring high-quality service delivery and staff development. I have over 10 years of experience in the field of mental health and recovery, having worked as a recovery worker at Amitola, providing therapeutic interventions in the access to wellbeing services in the NHS and as a practitioner psychologist at The Cavernoma Society, a charity that supports people affected by cavernoma, a rare physical health condition.

I have a Professional Doctorate in Counselling Psychology from York St. John University, where I also obtained my bachelor’s degree in psychology. I have developed skills in cross-functional team leadership, as well as competencies in psychological assessment, formulation, intervention, and evaluation. I am passionate about helping people to overcome their challenges and achieve their goals, and I am committed to the values and mission of Amitola, which is to provide holistic, person-centered, and recovery-oriented care and support for diverse mental health presentations.
