About Me

I am a HCPC registered Counselling and Occupational Psychologist, having worked as a psychologist for over 20 years. I am experienced in assessing student's for specific learning difficulties, including dyslexia and dyspraxia. I have completed over 2000 assessments over the past 8 years.
I became interested in assessing for dyslexia after working for JobCentre Plus as a Senior Psychologist, managing a team of Work Psychologists across the Yorkshire region. This team supported clients with a range of disabilities who were seeking employment, as well as those who needed help to retain their work. This one-to-one work ignited my passion for working with people to help them identify their strengths and weaknesses and support them to get the best out of their work and studies.
I have worked in a variety of other roles as a psychologist, both in the public and private sector, and have extensive experience of assessment in a range of settings, including recruitment, promotion and examination.
I am keen to ensure that everyone I assess feels comfortable and safe during their assessment experience so that it provides a fair assessment of their abilities, at that moment in time. I take a down-to-earth but professional approach to ensure that people understand the process and can make an informed decision about their assessment and report.
I can offer assessments remotely and in person at offices in Pocklington and York City Centre. At home assessments could be arranged by discussion.
