Hi, I’m Salma, a registered psychologist with extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing a range of mental health concerns, with a particular interest in trauma-related difficulties, OCD, anxiety disorders and perinatal mental health. I also have experience supporting people experiencing depression, body dysmorphia, grief and loss, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties (including family violence), and adjustment to life changes. I have been practising since 2017 in the not-for-profit and private sectors.
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based therapy and incorporates treatment modalities such as EMDR, CBT, and Schema Therapy.
A central part of my work is helping people understand how life experiences shape current patterns of thinking, feeling, and coping, and to explore ways of responding that better support their goals and wellbeing.
I recognise that opening up to someone new can take time, and aim to move at a pace that feels manageable while tailoring therapy to each person’s preferred way of working.
If you think that I may be able to support you on your mental health journey, please get in touch. I look forward to meeting you!
