I strive to ensure my clients feel heard, understood and respected, regardless of their situation, past or concern. Taking a positive psychology and humanistic approach, I fundamentally believe that every person has a unique strength and I strive to maximise and build upon that strength. I focus on the person as a whole and want to help people be the best version of themselves. Moving away from a deficit focus, I use strengths-based approaches with my clients. I aim to continuously provide clients with respect, a collaborative approach to working on goals, with compassion and authenticity.
I have experience working with both men and women, as well as couples and families and prefer to take a holistic approach. I have extensive experience working with those who have been involved in the criminal justice system and over a decade's experience in psychological assessment and writing reports for Local, District and Supreme Courts.
Take the first step on your journey today. There is no better time than now, as time will never be perfect nor does time wait. Your tomorrow depends on what you do today. Allow me the privilege of accompanying you on your journey - You can do it.
