I am a UK HCPC registered Counselling Psychologist and BABCP Accredited CBT Therapist offering Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for misophonia. Having previously worked at the Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma (South London & Maudsley NHS Trust), my current NHS commitments are at Oxford Health Specialist Psychological Intervention Centre. I am pleased to be able to offer a limited number of online treatment sessions outside of my NHS work.
Clinical experience
I began treating misophonia in 2018 whilst working at the Centre for Anxiety Disorders and Trauma, collaborating with Dr Jane Gregory on developing a cognitive-behavioural conceptualisation of misophonia and effective CBT interventions for its treatment. We completed a case series of 19 consecutive NHS referrals that showed the helpful effects of formulation-driven CBT in achieving clinically significant change in misophonia symptoms (Gregory et al., 2023). I have supervised MSc research exploring misophonia, and helped develop the Oxford-Kings Structured Clinical Interview for Misophonia. I continue to provide specialist NHS treatment for misophonia at Oxford Health Specialist Psychological Intervention Centre.
