To all appearances you’ve got a great life. You’re smart, driven, & successful. But privately, you sometimes struggle with negative thoughts you have about who you are, what you are worth, and what you've done with your life. These stubborn thoughts and beliefs affect every aspect of your life: your health, your school, your career, your relationships, and your self-esteem. You try to keep them at bay but you're exhausted from the effort and you want to break free of them and live again. You want to feel seen, supported & understood by someone you can trust. You're ready for something new.

I am a UK qualified clinical psychologist, who relocated to beautiful North Vancouver with my family in 2014. I have almost 20 years of clinical experience supporting youth (14+) and adults of all ages with a wide variety of presenting concerns (such as anxiety or depression) particularly in the context of life transitions, including long-term physical health conditions. My clinical practice is evidence-based and collaborative at its core; my goal as a therapist is support you to create and develop a life of meaning and value. Together, we will co-create a therapeutic approach that makes sense to you.

I feel it is important to provide a safe and caring therapeutic environment that will allow you to identify and understand the challenges you are facing. I believe that change is possible through focusing on what you bring to each session and working with you to understand and remove barriers on the path to peace, contentment and joy. Currently, my interns and associates are taking new clients or you are welcome to join my waitlist.

Life’s challenges can be difficult to cope with. We all feel stuck at some point in our lives and need support. Stress can leave you drained, anxious, ruminating and wondering how to move forward. Life-transition(s) can be challenging and overwhelming whether it be moving to a new place, changes in a significant relationship, or the loss of a loved one. You are not alone. Thank you for taking a step to look into therapy. In doing so you are taking an active part in your healing, courageously reaching for what you would like to have in your life. I will support you with building awareness and increasing resiliency.

Welcome! Whilst it's really hard to be with our suffering when it arises, the fact that it has come to our awareness indicates that it's a good time to explore it with support. We don't have to bear the burden of our unhappiness, stress and confusion alone. It can be wonderfully reorienting when our personal experience is deeply heard, held and respected, with skill and open-heartedness. Often helping us find fresh perspective on the way forward. This is the gift we offer ourselves, when we take the time to engage in healthy therapeutic relationship. My work has been a joy to me and I would be delighted to hear from you.

No one is broken, I am not going to ‘fix’ you but I can help you understand your obstacles. I am a very good listener and I work with my clients to create good habits, to understand themselves, to adjust their perspective on life. I work with my clients to have better awareness of where they are and together we identify small changes to help tackle bigger issues. We find ways to shift thinking to help with life’s challenges. Many of my clients are struggling with anxiety, family dynamics, domestic abuse—both physical and mental as well as depression. I would welcome a conversation with you to see if we would be a good fit.

I believe we all hold the skills, strengths, and resiliency necessary to create change and growth. At the same time, it is a normal and natural condition of humans to experience loss, disability, and trauma at any given time in our life span. I am passionate about forming deeper social/emotional connections and ongoing growth in increasing our understanding and response to human suffering. With over 15 years of training and experience, I have been profoundly influenced by the theoretical lens of trauma, the mind-body nervous system connection, and understanding the importance of integrating systemic and cultural influences as well.

I imagine my client with their therapist as pioneers in their journey. Whether it is grief, transition, relationships or trauma. As pioneers, we explore, travel, and come to discovery. This discovery may help an individual to work on goals, their growth, treatment and healing. This self discovery is simply facilitated by the therapist and lead by the client.
