Introduction

As a clinical psychologist, my main area of interest and passion is understanding chronic pain and helping people develop skills for living with chronic or long-term pain. I am also interested in headaches, chronic illnesses, anxiety and mood disorders, as well as the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in their treatment.

I mainly work with adults, although many of my pain patients have been adolescents, and working with them has been a highly positive experience for me.
