Do you want to break free from substance-use, anxiety or some other problematic way of coping? I am a psychotherapist specialising in helping people separate from anxieties (specific and general), addictions (substance and process), distressed eating and the effects of trauma. This also involves relationship issues, problematic patterns of thinking and behaviour, body image and sex, shame and guilt. These problematic coping mechanisms are often tangled up with underlying pain and distress which remains hidden from us and I work with clients in a two-step process to resolve this.

Hi! Originally from Canada, I’m a psychotherapist (aka, “practical psychologist”) with over 20 years’ experience here in Asia. Currently I specialize in three specific areas: Couples & Relationship Counselling, ADHD (all ages) and Teenage Boys. My basic approach is fluid and flexible, but more importantly... practical. In general, I work under the assumption people come to therapy seeking real-life solutions & strategies and a new way of being, rather than ongoing “talk therapy” or a bunch of theory. Ready for change? Great. Let's make it happen... ;)
