"It can be hard to live in our own heads. Worries, fears, sadness and feelings of inadequacy can make it feel like we are swimming against the tide. Our psychological difficulties may have been with us for a long time or may have started more recently. Whatever our mental health concerns, psychological therapy is an opportunity to change our relationship with our minds: a place to learn the skills to cope better with what life may throw at us, and a chance to find the inner resources that we all have, to allow us to move towards living a more fulfilling life."

Research & Publications

I am an HCPC registered Clinical Psychologist with a wide range of experience working across a broad spectrum of mental health presentations in the NHS. My aim is for our therapy sessions to be a warm and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable discussing any of the difficulties that you may be experiencing.

I will work closely with you to identify what you hope to gain from therapy, using our sessions to work towards the goals that you feel are most important. My therapy style is collaborative. I believe that therapy should provide you with the tools you need to be able to support your own mental wellbeing once our sessions have finished. 

Harry is trained in a number of evidence-based psychological therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Systemic Therapy. He has experience of providing psychological treatment to a wide range of individuals experiencing varying mental health difficulties, including psychosis, depression, anxiety, the impact of chronic illness, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), bereavement, anger management and relational difficulties. He also has expertise in working with those who may be experiencing a loss of meaning in their life.

Harry has a specialised interest and expertise in working with people experiencing psychosis. He also has extensive experience incorporating mindfulness practice into the psychological therapy that he offers, believing in the importance of the connection between the body and the mind.

Harry has a wide range of experience working in the NHS with both brief time-limited interventions and more in-depth work across many different mental health presentations.
