I am a compassionate, qualified Clinical Associate in Applied Psychology (CAAP) with experience supporting adults experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, OCD, panic, BFRBs, phobias, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. I provide a warm, non-judgemental space where clients can feel heard, understood, and supported at their own pace. I use CBT evidence-based therapies effective for a variety of disorders. I work collaboratively with clients to develop practical coping strategies, build self-awareness, and create meaningful change while ensuring therapy feels safe, supportive, and tailored to individual needs.
I offer a collaborative & compassionate space to explore difficult thoughts & emotions, develop coping strategies, build resilience, & create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you. I work in a trauma informed way, & have experience living and working abroad & bring a culturally sensitive approach to the therapeutic relationship.
Reaching out for therapy can feel difficult, especially when you’re overwhelmed, anxious, low, or emotionally exhausted. You may be struggling silently, feeling stuck in familiar patterns, or alone. I work collaboratively to help clients feel safer, understood, and better able to manage difficult emotions. If you feel ready, I welcome you to get in touch.

I use CBT based interventions beginning with a shared psychological formulation. Together we will explore how our thoughts, emotions, somatic symptoms & behaviours interact to maintain current difficulties, which can then guide effective treatment. The client brings the expertise of their experience & the therapist clinical knowledge, working together to bring about effective & positive change.
