I am passionate about helping you become psychologically flexible. No, I won't try to fix you, because you're not broken! I won't try to challenge your thoughts or feelings, because they are valid!

I have over 10 years of experience and a deep passion for helping people just like you. I will apply a strength-based approach, using only evidence-based therapeutic modalities, to suit your unique needs and empower you to transition successfully through your challenges. Whether you are facing relationship issues, challenging life transitions, cultural issues, professional dissatisfaction or other emotionally challenging life events, I can help you to become more aware of your strengths and assist you in engaging in successful coping styles and letting go of ones that are not serving you well.

I practice a unique blend of clinical and organisational psychology. My therapy sessions are conversational, personal, playful, and guiding. Therapy is about a client and a psychologist starting from an idea: That things could be better. Maybe by a lot, maybe just by a little; either way, something worth working for. Something that justifies facing challenges, shaking things up, taking some risks. As a therapist I don't pretend to know all the answers. My skill is to ask the right questions.

We understand that life can be challenging at times and that it's not always easy to cope with difficult thoughts and emotions that may arise.

Our goal is to provide you with support and practical solutions to help you overcome life's obstacles so you can improve your wellbeing and boost your resilience. Our team of friendly psychologists will help you feel at ease straight away as we know how difficult it can be to reach out for support from a mental health professional.
