Often these are normal responses to life events and are present in us all.
We all have aspects of our personality and behaviour that we and others find difficult. Often we just live with these trying to control them on our own. However, this is always difficult as it is hard for us to be objective and honest about ourselves. Having someone to help us be objective and not skip over these difficult areas of our lives, can be very helpful. Together we would work on revealing and unravelling these problem areas but only at a speed you can handle, you will always be in control of this process. What you reveal is between us, confidentiality is paramount. You decide who and when you wish to share with.

Seeking help from a psychologist could be overwhelming and stressful. It may be seen as a sign of weakness or suggest that there is something wrong with the person. My professional aim is to assist the person seeking help in a collaborative, compassionate and authentic manner, in a therapeutic space where personal issues are viewed as opportunities to discover personal strengths, to foster personal growth and improve quality of life. I am deeply committed to empower individuals in overcoming the social stigma associated with mental health issues and I value each person’s uniqueness during their engagement in mental health recovery.

Through life's challenges, we can learn to become more discerning and apply practical wisdom.
“Man's main concern is not to gain pleasure or to avoid pain but rather to see a meaning in his life” Victor Frankl. Life can be challenging for all of us sometimes. Many have observed that anxiety and depression are on the increase. How we find meaning in our difficulties and resilience to face our challenges isn't always easy. Reaching out for the support of others is, at times, a necessary and wise step. Difficulties have the potential to help us grow as we learn new insights and develop resilience.

Also, working in corporate management, I have successfully collaborated with executives to support their efforts towards achieving a healthy work- life balance.
My practice is informed by a humanistic-existential approach, which means, I understand the complexity of individual intrapersonal and interpersonal experiences and believe that they are at the heart of our human experience. I believe we all have it within us to create meaning and purpose in our lives and this can only occur when we come to understand our lives are not something to overcome but rather something we must face with compassion and tenderness. I draw on evidence based modalities such as CBT, ACT, EFT, IFS, family systems, and Gottman approach to support and guide individual and couples therapy.
