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.

My goal is to make my clients feel understood without feeling judged by me. People come to therapy mainly for clarity and peace of mind. Many of my clients feel comfortable with me and can be themselves without any pretense. I use different types of therapy for different clients. My aim is to support my client and make them feel they are in control of their life.

We all have unique stories that have shaped us. I want to know how you feel about your story and how it has impacted your sense of wholeness. My goal is to help you build a better understanding of the pain, distress or fear that holds you back from achieving the life you want so you can begin to make room for more joy and a meaningful existence. I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment by fostering an atmosphere where you feel heard, validated, and empowered to explore your experiences at your own pace.

I have extensive experience providing treatment within a vast scope of areas, these include addictions, adolescences, trauma informed care and recovery, families and relationships, psychiatric mental health, disabilities, men’s behaviour, and domestic and family violence. I utilise evidence-based treatments, cognitive behaviour therapy, A key aspect of my intervention involves mindfulness, “the element of being aware of oneself”. Outside of career pursuits, l enjoy recreational sports, travel, music, meditation, and family life.
