Hi there! I offer a compassionate space for individuals to navigate their own unique pathways of growth. I work with individuals who find they have identified the following difficulties: traumatic histories, shame, self-criticism, personality difficulties, high stress, distress tolerance, and managing or regulating difficult emotions. You may find that you are reliving memories of terrible events of the past. Maybe you are constantly speaking down to yourself and it hinders you from achieving your goals? Or maybe you are finding that your emotions are just too much? If any of these sound like you, get in touch - I'd love to help.

Are you someone who has struggled to find a genuinely safe, understanding and inclusive therapeutic or reflective space? Or have not yet found a professional who actually demonstrates having the expertise they tell you about? Are you still on the fence about taking that step forward? I understand. I have successfully helped many people who have felt anxious or hopeless about change. I have also worked with people who felt misguided or even harmed by social media advice, previous therapy or their workplace.

There is no question life is stressful - but the good news is that help is available. You do not have to struggle alone. We all need a neutral, non-judgmental person to talk things through with. I believe that knowing you are not alone, and having that safe place to express your fears, or uncover how the past influences you today, is essential for mental health.

Forensic Psychology Counsellors
How does forensic psychology work?
Forensic psychology works by providing those in the legal system with expert information about psychology and behaviour that they wouldn’t otherwise have. Forensic psychologists do this through a range of services—conducting psychological assessments for court cases, assisting police officers with investigations, providing expert opinion, helping with mediation, and providing mental health care to victims or perpetrators of crimes.

Can a forensic psychologist help with child custody cases?
Yes. In the event that it’s needed, an attorney or judge may appoint a forensic psychologist to provide an assessment and recommendation. This process involves multiple interviews with the child, the parent (or parents), and sometimes others. The psychologist assesses the parent’s mental health, strengths and weaknesses, and parenting practices to understand what’s in the child’s best interest. They then complete a report with recommendations based on their assessment.

Do forensic psychologists help solve crimes?
In some cases they do. For example, criminal profiling involves collaborating with law enforcement officers to construct a profile of a perpetrator based on psychology, personality, and behaviour as suggested by the crime in order to focus the investigation. They may also offer expert input on subjects related to a case such as deception, false confessions, and the reliability of testimony based on eyewitness accounts.

How long do people typically work with a forensic psychologist?
The length of time an individual works with a forensic psychologist depends on the relevant service. For example, if a forensic psychologist is conducting a psychological assessment for a court case, this may take one to two sessions to complete (although they can be more extensive). If the forensic psychologist is providing therapy to someone accused or convicted of a crime, treatment may last for several months or more.
