I work with people who feel stuck in familiar emotional or relational patterns and want to understand themselves more deeply. This may include anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, identity questions or life transitions. I work with clients whose experiences are shaped by intersecting identities such as culture, race, gender, class, sexuality and family roles, and how these influence emotional expression and self understanding. Clients often seek a thoughtful, collaborative space to make sense of their experiences, strengthen self trust and create meaningful change.

Life can sometimes feel overwhelming - whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, or adjusting to big life changes. My role as a clinical psychologist is to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can share openly, without judgment, and work towards feeling stronger and more balanced. Our sessions will usually be 50 minutes online (video), where you’ll be supported to talk through your challenges in a safe, confidential space. My goal is for you to leave each session with greater understanding and a sense of progress, no matter how small.

Life can be complicated, and it’s not unusual to feel stuck, in pain, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to move forward. Therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect with yourself in a meaningful way. My approach is centred around the philosophy that you already hold the answers to your challenges, even if they feel out of reach right now. Together, we’ll explore what’s been happening for you—how past experiences, patterns, or relationships might be influencing your present as well as taking into account the broader socio-political conditions that lead to mental health distress.

I began my professional journey as a Public Health doctor, where I developed a deep appreciation for the complex ways in which physical, emotional and social factors shape our wellbeing. Alongside this work, my own life experiences led me to seek counselling during a particularly challenging period. I realised that counselling is not simply a place to “fix” problems. It is a powerful space to pause, reflect and make sense of what has been painful or confusing. I found myself drawn to training as a counsellor to support healing and help reframe long-held patterns, and restore a sense of meaning and purpose for my clients.

Sometimes in life you arrive at a point where you know that you need some help. The problems that you are facing are too much for you to overcome on your own. In particular, if you are a young adult, you are confronted with a unique set of challenges that needs someone who understands those challenges and has experience in helping you navigate your way through them. Whether it is bullying, or a feeling that you don't fit in, or whether it is depression and anxiety, stress or relationship problems or problems to do with gender and sexuality, I can offer you a safe place to explore these issues.
