Let’s be honest. Walking into therapy can feel intimidating. The old-school image of psychology is still very “serious face, intimidating suit, big words you didn’t ask for.”
That’s not what happens here.
I’m a psychologist who genuinely believes therapy shouldn’t feel like you’re being analysed under fluorescent lighting. It should feel collaborative, clear & human. You deserve support that makes sense in real life. No "hacks".
My approach is simple. I get to know you properly. We figure out what’s getting in your way. And we build tools that actually work in your day-to-day life. No unnecessary jargon.
My work is based on four pillars (there are a lot more, but here are the ones I believe are most important). Respect, Autonomy, Open Mindedness and celebrating difference. I believe that with these four pillars being reciprocated, we have a strong potential for successful therapy.
During sessions, I have been known to add in some light humour (only when appropriate of course) as I love to have a laugh. My clients describe me as perceptive, patient, insightful, warm and compassionate.
