After over 20 years as a counsellor, I have been privileged to work with clients who present with a massive variety of issues and hopes. The ideal client is the one who is brave enough to reach out and say they want something to change for them, that they want better for themselves and invite me to be an integral part of that solution - it's an honour that I take seriously, ethically, honestly and carefully. I have worked with all age groups, predominately adults, from 18 - 90, all cultures, backgrounds, religions, genders and histories - I will always be client led and supportive and professional with whatever their goals are.

I am a registered Psychologist with extensive experience helping people to improve their daily lives and reach their true potential. My passion to make a difference in the lives of others has led to a strong interest in evidence-based approaches such as Schema Therapy, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I have undertaken additional training in Schema Therapy and am particularly passionate about this approach. I aim to build a warm, comfortable and collaborative space for people to improve their wellbeing through evidence-based interventions.

Feeling you need support outside of your family and friends? Not sure about changing some aspect of your life? I work with adults and older teenagers looking for growth or change in their current lives. If a trauma, or event has impacted you, we may understand why it's happened, but sometimes "why" isn't enough. Combining psychotherapy with somatic psychology, we can create the change and healing you are seeking.

I feel passionate about helping people make meaningful, sustainable, and healthy changes in their lives. I aim to work respectfully and collaboratively with people so that clients build their own independence and develop ways to manage life stressors more effectively, in addition to their own thoughts, feelings and behaviours. A comfortable, empathetic and supportive therapeutic relationship is also very important in my approach, and research shows that this is essential in best outcomes for clients. I generally work on a wide range of mental health and life issues and the approaches I work with are all evidence-based interventions.
