Hi, my name is Ravina and I am a Psychologist who works with a wide range of presentations and communities. I pride myself on my ability to create a safe, empathetic and approachable space for clients, allowing for authenticity and enabling us to do our best therapeutic work. I have a special interest working with trauma in all its forms, and am trained in different modalities which allow me to help tackle the impact that trauma has had on an individual’s daily functioning as well as their deeper sense of identity and relational patterns.
I draw upon multiple evidence based trauma informed therapeutic approaches, including EMDR, Schema therapy, DBT, and CBT. The initial focus will be on building a strong therapeutic working relationship and developing insight. We will then draw upon our insights to find an approach that best fits with your needs.
I believe that improving one’s wellbeing begins first and foremost with self-reflection and understanding, and I endeavour to provide the safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space in which to do this. I am passionate about creating an environment that is comfortable and relaxed, where individuals feel at ease and safe to open up.
