My journey as a psychologist is marked by a profound interest in the human mind and experience. I am captivated by the unique stories, emotions and complexities that shape individuals. I enjoy helping people navigate life’s complexities whilst simultaneously discovering meaning and supporting values directed growth. I believe that we all have an innate capacity to heal but often need support and guidance on this path of self-discovery and healing.
My core therapeutic values include:
Compassion - I believe in the transformative power of compassionate understanding. Through empathetic listening and genuine connection, I aim to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and validated.
Trust - Building a foundation of trust is essential in the therapeutic journey. I work diligently to cultivate a trusting relationship, providing a secure space for exploration and healing.
Safety - I strive to create an emotionally safe environment where you can explore challenges, express emotions, and embark on the path to personal growth without fear of judgment.
Respect - Each individual is unique and I approach every person with deep respect for their experiences, values, and goals. I honour your autonomy and collaborate with you to tailor our work to meet your specific needs.
I employ an integrative approach that draws from various modalities to suit each individual's unique needs. My therapeutic toolbox includes:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Compassion Focussed Therapy
Schema Therapy
Eye Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR)
Attachment-based therapies
I aim to integrate an individual’s past and present experiences to build insight into emotions, behaviours and interpersonal relationship patterns. My goal is to empower people to gain self-awareness, develop adaptive coping strategies, and cultivate a deeper understanding of themselves.
My main areas of work include people presenting with anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, trauma recovery, Autism, ADHD, psychosocial disability, low self-esteem and emotional regulation problems.
