I help clients explore their problems and feelings about themselves and others in their lives. I specialise in working with issues such as communication problems, betrayal, anxiety, depression and stress, separation and parenting. Helping clients to empower themselves and find solutions to improve their relationships and their mental health is important as this has a positive knock-on effect in family systems.

As a Clinical Psychologist I have experience working with a range of mental health issues, like depression and anxiety disorders, personality disorders, anger and stress management, difficulties with self-esteem and self-compassion, disordered eating habits, adjustment difficulties, chronic illness, sleep difficulties, trauma and work-related issues. I pride myself on establishing a strong therapeutic alliance with clients of all ages and enjoy working from a person-centred and psychodynamic approach.

I am only taking on returning clients, selected clinical cases of trauma/complex-trauma, family of origin challenges, autism/ADHD assessments, clinical supervision and professional development training/consultancy. I am currently living my PhD journey and have decided to reduce my clinical load. I have over 15 years of clinical experience working with children to adults and have worked in private, NGO and government sectors.

I use an eclectic approach, to me, it’s all about the client. I listen to what’s important to the client and explore options to help clients reach desired outcome. For me going into private practice was so I could create the environment that the client feels welcome, relaxed and safe to talk about anything. I Believe that my role is to guide the client to where they what to be. Life is about living not existing therefore let’s create the history you want.

"Choose courage over comfort. Choose whole hearts over armor. Choose the great adventure of being brave and afraid at the exact same time" - Brene Brown. My clients presents with the desire to be treated respectfully and as individuals. They want to improve their skill set in managing difficult emotions and become better at assessing information to make informed decisions about their life.

My ideal client is someone struggling with life. The struggle could be with marriage/relationship difficulties, anxiety, depression, working through trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem issues, or maybe they just need to talk through a concern, or a major life decision. Whatever the issue they are seeking a good and caring listener who will help them to set clear goals in order to move forward with their life. They are ready for change and the work that’s required to bring it about.

As a registered psychotherapist with a creative art therapy and pastoral background I work from a collaborative position of care, curiosity and empathy. I utilise a variety of approaches to match your specific goals and needs, facilitating understanding of your particular situation to overcome stuckness. One of the philosophies that resonates for me is, “The problem is the problem, the person is not the problem” (White & Epston, founders of Narrative therapy).

Does your life sometimes feel overwhelming, and does that lead you to feel anxious or depressed, as if you just can't cope?
