I qualified with a doctorate in clinical psychology from the University of East Anglia in 2009. Since then, I have worked full-time with children, young people and families in NHS, Education and Local Authority settings. I have undertaken additional training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, Systemic Practice, Clinical Supervision and Public Sector Leadership. I have formal training in the assessment of parent-child relationships. I left my NHS consultant post in July 2026 to focus on independent practice.

My career has been dedicated to working with children and families who have experienced adversity and traumatic events. I particularly enjoy working with care-experienced children, young people, their networks, and families. I offer consultation and supervision to teams and practitioners working with traumatised families in often very stressed systems.

In recent years my EMDR practice has focused on supporting survivors of intimate partner violence and abuse. I specialise in supporting adults to reclaim their lives and recover from the impact of partner abuse which includes but is not limited to overcoming PTSD symptoms. Having worked extensively in this field, I am very familiar with the barriers people may face in sharing their experiences with a therapist including anxiety about systems/professionals and feelings of fear, shame or embarrassment. This is a normal part of recovery from trauma, and we can work sensitively with people to overcome these barriers.

I am a chartered member of the British Psychological Society (293591). I am registered with The Health and Care Professionals Council (PYL25060)

"Pam is approachable, knowledgeable, and professional. She made good connections with families through her adoption work. I would be happy to recommend her to families I work with."

She creates a safe reflective space which holds a welcome balance of warmth, validation, constructive challenge and direct practice guidance. It has been central to my professional development and supported me in maintaining my own well-being."

Supervisee

“Pam’s supervision has been a genuinely developmental experience. I have felt seen and heard, been sensitively challenged and compassionately guided to make sense of my own assumptions and emotional responses in practice.
