I am a Clinical Psychologist with over a decade of experience providing tailored mental health support to individuals from diverse backgrounds. I co-founded Talk Works in 2014 with a mission to make psychological support more accessible and responsive to people’s needs. My approach is grounded in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), both of which are powerful tools in helping clients overcome emotional challenges and trauma. I believe in evidence-based interventions, and working collaboratively to empower my clients.
I use CBT to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns that influence emotions and behaviours, while also providing practical tools to manage their symptoms. For trauma-related difficulties, I use EMDR, a specialised treatment that helps clients process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity.
My goal is to support people in understanding and overcoming the obstacles that keep them stuck. I aim to make therapy a space for learning, growth, and real change. If you're ready to take the first step toward positive change, feel free to reach out for a consultation. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings.
