I work with teens, adults and older adults seeking help with a range of difficulties such as common mental health struggles, addiction and neurodiversity (including assessments).
Hello and welcome, I am glad you have found me. Life can be challenging and you may have found yourself struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety or low mood. You may be stuck in unhelpful coping patterns, such as self-criticism, rumination or addiction. You might be having unusual experiences that you find hard to make sense of. You may be wanting to understand yourself better and to make sense of the struggles you face. Or you could be feeling flat, overwhelmed or stuck in a rut, struggling with burnout and direction in life. We all struggle, it is part of human nature, but you don't need to go through this alone.

If you are feeling troubled and are not sure how to move forward it may be a relief to talk things through. I specialise in working with people who have lost someone close, experienced a trauma that haunts them or an unexpected change in life such as a sudden loss, a health, work, or family problem. Difficulties in your relationships or work can cause anxiety, anger and loneliness in daily life and impact your sense of self. Often problems stem from the past, and unhealthy patterns can re-emerge. I can offer a safe space where together we can explore, locate, and work through what is troubling you so as to help you move forward.

My ideal client is someone who looks capable on the outside but feels overwhelmed, stuck or disconnected inside – often juggling high-pressure work, big expectations, or a major life transition. They may be dealing with anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, self-criticism, relationship strain, or questions of meaning and direction. They want a confidential, non-judgmental space to be understood, alongside clear, coaching-informed steps to help them set boundaries, reconnect with values, and feel calmer, more resilient and more themselves. They’re ready to slow down, spot patterns, and choose a healthier, more fulfilling way forward.

FAQ - About Geriatric Therapy
What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialise in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.

Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.

What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialise in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialised modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.

Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specialising in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
