Hi, I’m Siobhán

I am a British Psychological Society (BPS) chartered psychologist and Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) registered counselling psychologist. This is an assurance that I work within the ethical boundaries of my profession and that I am suitably qualified, and that I engage in regular CPD and clinical supervision to maintain my practice.

I have a background in trauma therapy and related particular special interests in working with eating disorders and supporting neurodivergent people who might be considering having a NICE approved diagnostic assessment or who would like post diagnosis support.
