Creating a therapeutic space that feels warm, caring and compassionate is my primary focus. People come to therapy with a desire to feel better, typically at times of change and transition, when they may feel stuck, unmotivated or unfulfilled in their lives. This is a hard place to be, so finding a Psychologist who understands you is important. I help adults experiencing challenges including anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD and grief to find clarity. Together, we can process your distressing experiences while creating an internal sense of security and confidence, so you can lead the life you want to live.
At times, we all have thoughts, emotions and sensations that we don't consciously understand about ourselves, and these can be difficult to sit with. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) therapy can help you to process distress from challenging experiences with self-compassion and curiosity.
I understand that working on your mental health can be hard. It's my role to create a safe environment centered around you, as we explore your internal world. I get to help you to understand and nurture yourself, using evidence-based approaches that harness your self-compassion and intrinsic healing wisdom. This is what I love about being a Psychologist.
