Empathy, respect, and collaboration are at the heart of my practice. I believe in creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where clients can openly explore their thoughts and emotions. By tailoring evidence-based techniques to individual needs, I am to empower clients in their journey towards self- discovery and growth.
I provide a safe, gentle, and empathic space for clients to explore and share their story while supporting a journey of discovery to improve mental health and wellbeing.
Each client comes with a unique set of experiences, strengths and goals. My aim is to meet each client where they are emotionally and cognitively in their life stage and integrate this with their current needs to improve their quality of life, promote healing and find meaning.
I am a clinician who is genuinely committed to remaining present and providing clients with a safe, non-judgmental opportunity to connect and address the barriers preventing them from accessing pathways towards living a meaningful life.
I am genuinely committed to and passionate about the client-therapist relationship. I strive to create a supportive, caring, and judgement free space for clients to feel empowered and hopeful about their own individual journeys.
Helping people make the changes they need to live rich, meaningful lives is incredibly rewarding. I believe in evidence-based practice and that psychologists should only utilise methods and treatments that are solidly based on science.
I hope to work with my clients to create a safe and friendly therapeutic space that allows navigation of themes that may be limiting and exploration of different ways to move towards less suffering and greater growth.
I am experienced in working with complex psychological difficulties. I provide clients with a space where they can feel safe and can work in ways that they do not need to share sensitive details of their lives if they do not wish to do so.
Our ability to control our reactions and manage our emotions can be challenging on any given day, let alone trying to remember everything on our to-do list as well. For those who are neurodivergent, managing how we feel and retain information can be challenging as our main ‘management system’ in charge of memory and emotions may function differently. In this article, we will begin to understand why this may be occurring and explore ways to cope and navigate life’s challenges with a little more ease.
Mindfulness is a practice of paying attention to the present moment with openness and curiosity. It can help reduce anxiety and depression by breaking the cycle of negative thoughts and emotions, enhancing self-awareness and acceptance, and improving coping skills and resilience. In this article you will learn more about strategies to integrate mindfulness into your life.
Acute stress is a heightened stress response following an event that places immediate and unexpected demands on a person’s psychological functioning. Recognising the initial symptoms and discovering strategies to cope with an acute stress reaction can help alleviate these symptoms over time, preventing them from escalating into Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. In this article, we will explore how acute stress differs from chronic stress and post-traumatic stress to help you identify and manage an acute stress response.
Please note: Psychologists primarily use therapy and behavioural interventions to help individuals cope with emotional and psychological issues. They do not prescribe medications.
