DClinPsy, MSc, BSc
Clinical Psychologist
Adult and Child and Mental Health, Anxiety Disorders, OCD, and Autism Spectrum Condition

Hello, my name is Liz and I am a Clinical Psychologist based in King’s Cross, London, offering both online and in-person support. I believe that our mental health is fundamental to our overall wellbeing, and that everyone deserves the space to explore their thoughts and feelings with warmth, compassion, and empathy. I work collaboratively with my clients to develop a shared understanding of their experiences. My main aim is to support and empower clients to build upon and integrate their existing strength and resilience with new and effective coping skills, to achieve their personal goals. 

I have a particular interest in anxiety disorders, and obsessive-compulsive (OCD) and related disorders, including body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). I have over seven years’ experience of working therapeutically within the NHS with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing a range of mental health conditions. 

I am experienced in delivering an array of evidence-based treatments, and in my practice, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Narrative Therapy.

Experience in:
– Anxiety and stress including social anxiety, generalised anxiety, panic, separation anxiety, and phobias
– Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
– Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD)
– Low mood
– Low self-esteem
– Anxiety and low mood in the context of Autism Spectrum Condition and ADHD
– Parenting a child experiencing anxiety
– Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Narrative and Systemic Therapy

Further training in:
– Specialist assessment of OCD and BDD
– Specialist treatment of OCD, BDD, and repetitive behaviours

Background

I completed my BSc in Psychology at Durham University, my MSc in Clinical and Health Psychology at Newcastle University, and my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience (IoPPN), King’s College London (KCL). In my current role at University College London (UCL) I provide psychological therapy in a specialist NHS talking therapies service, conduct clinically focused research, and I am a course tutor supporting the professional and personal development of Trainee Clinical Psychologists on the Doctorate in Clinical Psychology programme.

I am fully registered with the Health Care Professional Council as a registered Clinical Psychologist: PYL043161.

Research Interests

I conduct research into obsessive-compulsive and related disorders. Specifically, I am passionate about improving the detection, early intervention, and treatment of BDD in young people and young adults, and this is a key focus of my ongoing research. I conduct novel research to inform understanding of current treatment practices and underlying mechanisms maintaining symptoms, whilst promoting awareness and knowledge of BDD amongst mental health professionals. I value that my active involvement in clinically focused research in a world-renowned university strengthens my ability to deliver effective therapy and remain up to date with developments in psychological therapies, particularly CBT.
