What services do you offer at Scope?

I provide clinical assessment for adolescents and adults, including:

  • Fitness for work in the context of neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions
  • Assessment for Psychosocial Disability

I am also a member of Scope's intake team, where I complete comprehensive intake assessments to assist clients with understanding which service would best meet their needs. If I meet you during intake, please understand that I will be handing you over to one of Scope's other practitioners to deliver ongoing services.

Who would benefit from seeing you?
I enjoy working with clients who want a better understanding of how their mental health impacts their functioning, and how they can overcome their challenges to live a more fulfilling life.
What values underpin your approach?

I value taking an accepting, compassionate, client-centred approach that also allows space for humour and playfulness where appropriate. I aim to provide a collaborative space where clients know that nothing they say will be judged.

        What has your psychology journey looked like?

        I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, a Master's by Research focused on suicide prevention, and a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology. As a clinical psychologist trained in the UK, I've gained extensive experience working across the entire lifespan with a wide spectrum of presentations. I enjoy working with people of all ages and abilities to make sense of their past experiences, present difficulties and future directions.

        What do you find rewarding about being a psychologist?

        I feel honoured to be trusted to witness client’s stories (at often the most distressing point in their lives) and to help people regain glimmers of hope and light when things feel dark and heavy.

              Why do you like working at Scope?

              I am excited for the opportunity to support those in need of tailored, considered assessment.

                    What are some of your personal interests?

                    I enjoy reading, travel, trying new foods, and going to the gym to look after my own wellbeing!
