I am a registered clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience. I draw on therapeutic skills learnt over the years and work from a holistic perspective to assist my clients with various life challenges. Coming to terms with the past, improved coping in the present and empowering you for the future is something I look forward to assisting you with. I have worked in a wide range of settings (including private practice, hospital, clinic and prison environments) with diverse population groups and age ranges (children, adolescents and adults).
I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience into the therapeutic space and draw on techniques from various therapy models (using an integrated approach) to best fit the needs and comfort level of my client. Relationship is important and thus treatment is not only about skill generation, but focus is on the therapeutic relationship itself.
Currently I only work with clients aged 18 and older. I am able to assist with general life challenges as well as more complex issues working towards improving your general well-being.
