About me
My primary mission is to provide services that address the psychological and mental health needs of young people, adults and families from mainstream groups, multicultural communities and people of colour, who have been historically under-represented in gaining access to mental health or excluded altogether to services because of their race, gender, class, sexual orientation or disability. Therefore, my goal is to optimise and improve the emotional health and overall emotional well-being of these groups and provide an evidence-based and culturally competent clinical service that addresses the psychological and mental health needs of couples, young people, adults, families, parents and carers.
I have a wealth of knowledge and experience in the following areas:
- depression,
- ADHD/High functioning autism
- anxiety disorders,
- gender dysphoria-related issues,
- anger management,
- relationships difficulties,
- trauma,
- stress management,
- addictions,
- attachment-related issues,
- domestic abuse,
- bereavement/loss and separation,
- workplace-related problems,
- executive wellness coaching and life skills,
- personal development/self-esteem,
- adolescence group work,
- life transition and geriatric issues,

- and aftercare counselling among other areas.
