I grew up in the Ribble Valley, completing my Clinical Psychology Doctorate at Lancaster University and working in various mental health settings across Lancashire and Manchester. I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and due to my own love of sport I have a particular interest in working with athletes.  

I have a passion for being active and pursuing challenges in the outdoors. I find that this aspect of my personal life better equips me in my professional work, as I have my own practice in adapting to changing information and tolerating  uncomfortable conditions. 

Personal challenge can lead you to face certain fears and vulnerabilities relating to complex aspects of life such as motivation, emotional and physical pain, purpose and identity. It is my opinion that these issues are worth facing and that the process of experiencing life in a deeper way can bring added meaning to life. 

My passion lies in facing the truth and strengthening personal resiliency in the face of challenge.
