Hello, I’m Nancy.

I’m a Consultant Clinical Psychologist who works in the NHS as well as in private practice. I specialise in working with adults who are adjusting to changes in their physical health and the impact that can have emotionally. In particular, I specialise in working with people who have been, or are, impacted by cancer.

In the NHS I lead a Peritoneal Malignancy Psychology Service. This includes providing psychological support for a rare cancer called Pseudomyxoma Peritonei.

I became a psychologist specialising in physical health for very personal reasons. Most of my close family members have experienced cancer, so I saw first hand the impact and responses that this diagnosis can bring. I saw too the importance of being respected during this experience and the difference it can make to have the space to work out how you want to cope.

I took a degree in psychology with a special interest in bereavement and went on to the clinical doctorate where I wrote my thesis on older women’s experience of being diagnosed with breast cancer. I have specialised in working with people dealing with cancer ever since.

Please take a look around my website to learn more about my services and how I might be able to be of help for you.
