About me

Being alive can be both thrilling and hard. Feeling stuck may make it difficult to see a different perspective - sometimes we all need the other person to help us see that change is possible. Often not easy but possible. It requires time, kindness and patience. Sometimes developing awareness, sometimes learning new skills and trying out new behaviours, sometimes being heard and helped to find words to describe what is important and what hurts.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist. I offer an initial consultation to discuss your needs and my approach, I hope to help you clarify what really matters to you and help you learn how to approach your difficulties so that you can move closer to your values. Following the first meeting, I can offer tailored support. I work with adults, young people and couples. I also offer supervision if you are a practitioner looking for support in putting in practice new skills. I use evidence-based approaches like ACT, CBT, Mindfulness based Cognitive Therapy.
