I’m a Chartered Educational Psychologist with a passion for supporting children, young people and the adults around them. Since qualifying in 2012, I’ve worked with a range of local authorities, and I now offer independent psychological services through my private practice.

Alongside this, I work as an Associate Educational Psychologist for Oxfordshire County Council, where I support the training and supervision of Emotional Literacy Support Assistants (ELSAs). I also locum for Hampshire County Council, contributing to Education, Health and Care (EHC) needs assessments.

My qualifications include a Doctorate in Educational and Child Psychology, a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology, a BSc in Psychology and a Diploma in Sports Psychology. I’m registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC), a Chartered Member of the British Psychological Society (BPS), and hold an enhanced DBS check.

Outside of work, I’m a mum to two young boys and enjoy the slower pace of countryside life, especially quiet walks with my dog, Bruce.

A little while ago I had lost my confidence completely and Abby helped a lot. She helped me control my nerves and helped me see that I could do it and she gave me the tools to always cope in everyday life with nerves and especially when I am competing my pony Jazz.

“A huge thank you for your coaching session today. It made a real difference to my mind set and the meeting (with parents) ended up being positive. I really appreciate it.”
