I am a Clinical Psychologist who works with children, young people and their families. I have completed an MSc in Child Development at University College London and a Clinical Doctorate at the University of East London. Within my private and NHS work I have been passionate about exploring the experience of parents, in particular parents whose children have a health condition or a learning disability. When I became a mum I developed a broader interest in the mental health of all parents, in particular how important sleep is for our well-being. I believe that if we spend time thinking and understanding our emotions, we can feel more in control and capable during the challenging times that parenthood brings us.
