I work with young people and adults, supporting them through a range of challenges including anxiety, low mood, trauma, life transitions, and more. My approach is collaborative and compassionate. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy and draw on a range of proven therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). These approaches help support meaningful change by increasing awareness, building resilience, and developing practical strategies for everyday life.
Before moving into private practice, I worked within the District Health Board (DHB), gaining experience with a wide range of mental health presentations across diverse populations. I now bring that experience into my private practice, offering personalised, evidence-based care in a warm and confidential setting.
I understand that reaching out for support can feel like a big step. My aim is to make that process as welcoming and supportive as possible. I offer a safe, respectful space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported—without judgment.
