Most of my patients struggle with overthinking, self-sabotage, or getting stuck in unhelpful emotional loops. If you are ready to get better rather than just feel better, we will work well together! I use Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), an approach that is practical, transparent and compassionate.
I specialise in helping folks who feel stuck: Whether it’s anxiety, anger, procrastination, self-doubt, or destructive habits. REBT is an active, structured approach: Together, we identify the inferences and attitudes that fuel your emotional struggles, challenge them together, and replace them with ideas that actually help you live the life you want.
I believe in helping you create psychological tools that make an impact in your life. If you’re ready to work at the internal obstacles holding you back and build real emotional resilience, we'd be a good fit. Feel free to reach out for a conversation about how I can support your goals.

Most of my clients report that my sessions help them develop practical tools and methods to improve their lives and overcome psychological obstacles. They appreciate my candour, accepting attitude, and action orientation most of all. Real improvements need not take years, but instead a few months of concerted effort and work.

I use a powerful form of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), called Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT). REBT is an action-orientated approach that helps people get better rather than just feel better by adopting more effective, reasonable, and flexible attitudes toward life's adversities. REBT encourages independent thinking, self-direction, emotional responsibility and acceptance.
