I am experienced in working with adults 16 years+ presenting with trauma, identity/self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, gender dysphoria, ‘borderline personality’ symptoms, depression, grief, anxiety, OCD.
Hello! I am a warm, curious and personable psychologist. I believe therapy is a collaborative process. It's important to me that you feel safe and understood. I always try to hold on to the human side of being a psychologist and to be as transparent as I can with you; one that feels things with you, wants to build a genuine connection with you, doesn’t always have to have an answer for everything and can appreciate good humour!  I find that this approach can help (or at least make it more bearable) to open up about  the parts of ourselves that feel heavy, uncertain or vulnerable.

I have a deep interest in complex relational & social, collective trauma and use a somatic approach that includes an awareness of the physiological & emotional impacts of oppressive systems on marginalised people.
In our active collaboration, I support you to notice each element of your thinking, feeling, sensing experience. This increases self-awareness; widens perspective; helps renegotiate protective patterns related to past events & grows a self-trust that sharpens discernment of inner cues, needs and boundaries, which makes generative connections more possible.
