I am a Clinical Psychologist providing specialist psychological assessment and evidence-based treatments for adults and children. If you or your child are struggling with anxiety, depression, feelings of shame, or low self-confidence, know that help is available. It's normal to feel overwhelmed at times, but there is always hope for a brighter path forward. I encourage you to reach out and explore how we can work together towards positive change.
I have extensive expertise in diagnosing neurodevelopmental conditions, and of working systemically with families. My strong background in psychology equips me to address a variety of mental health issues. As a parent of two, I am deeply committed to helping families and young people thrive.
Building a strong therapeutic relationship is at the heart of effective treatment. Research consistently highlights how important this connection is for creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, develop deeper insight, and overcome challenges. Together, we can navigate the path toward positive change.
