I work with older adolescents (16+) and adults experiencing anxiety and trauma.

I can support you to heal your nervous system, learn healthy coping strategies, reduce self-criticism and improve your self-worth, set boundaries, and establish healthy, reciprocal, and trusting relationships. My goal is to make each person I work with feel seen, understood and accepted.

If you are not who you want to be, you can break down who you became by accident, and rebuild yourself as who you want to be on purpose.

These experiences, and many like them, can leave you feeling lost, and I would like to help you feel found.

My ideal client is looking for a holistic approach to modern-day therapy. They are want to deepen their connection between body, mind and emotions. They are looking to create awareness around the parts of themselves that need to be re-integrated to create a more centred self. They are looking for the tools to feel empowered to continue regulating even after they leave our therapy session. They are looking for a non-judgemental space to explore your inner and outer landscapes.

I feel passionately about providing a safe space for my clients to talk, feel, explore, develop skills and ultimately to heal. Many of us are carrying painful memories, anxious thoughts, difficult emotions and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. I believe when you find someone you can connect with, you can begin the process of healing and developing not only better relationships with others but with yourself. If you're looking for someone to accompany you on that journey, I would consider it an honour to be your companion.

Hello. I am a registered psychologist with twenty years experience. I treat a wide variety of issues, however, my passion area is eating, weight and emotions. I am skilled at working with clients of all weights (from underweight to overweight/obese) and address the "why" of eating/dieting behaviour rather than just the "what". It is best to tackle a problem by understanding the causes. I also work with people with binge eating disorder, bulimia, body image issues and other related problems in a caring and empowering way. If you want to manage your health by normalising your relationship with food, I may be able to help.

Have you always felt different to others? Do you experience difficulties socially? Have you felt that your challenges often hold you back? Perhaps you feel you haven't realised your true potential and strengths? I can help you develop the various areas in your life that can help you move forward using evidence-based practice. I specialise in working with children, teens and adults who are neurodivergent meaning those diagnosed or who suspect they have an ADHD and or autistic brain. This is with a psychologist who has many years experience working with neurodivergent humans.
