I am a clinical psychologist who seeks to understand exactly what's going on for you and why, and how we can work together to achieve the life you want to live. I believe in treating the whole person - not just symptoms or a diagnosis in isolation. I have an interest in how the brain and body operate together during emotional states. This means my approach includes 'not just talking', and will include education and skill-building for true understanding and meaningful change.

Counselling is a conversation and enables you to express your concerns without judgement, to be heard, and find practical strategies to manage or resolve your issues, so that you can move forward in your life with confidence.

At the heart of my practice is a deep belief that every individual has the innate capacity for growth, healing, and transformation.

My approach is grounded in evidence-based therapies, tailored to your specific needs and goals. However, I believe that true transformation extends beyond techniques and theories. It requires a genuine commitment to self-exploration, a willingness to embrace discomfort, and a readiness to actively participate in the process of change.
