I am a compassionate Registered Psychologist who supports children, adolescents, adults and families with a range of psychological concerns, including anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, neurodivergence, relationship challenges and life transitions. I have a particular interest in supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, as well as children and families navigating emotional, behavioural and developmental challenges. I also work with adults seeking greater self-understanding, resilience and confidence as they move through periods of change or difficulty.
I view therapy as a collaborative and meaningful process of understanding yourself, your experiences and the patterns that may be shaping your thoughts, emotions, relationships and behaviour. Even when life feels overwhelming or difficult, there is potential for healing, growth and positive change. In the therapy room, I bring a warm, compassionate and thoughtful approach, grounded in curiosity, respect and genuine connection. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, understood and able to explore your experiences at your own pace.
Together, we will work to better understand what may be contributing to your current difficulties, process challenging experiences and develop practical strategies to support emotional wellbeing. My aim is to help you build greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, resilience and self-compassion, while reconnecting with your strengths and developing a stronger sense of confidence in navigating life’s challenges. I believe therapy should be both reflective and practical, supporting meaningful change that can be integrated into everyday life.
I draw on a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness-based strategies and emotion-focused approaches. This integrative approach allows us to tailor therapy to your individual needs, balancing deeper emotional understanding with practical tools for managing distress, strengthening relationships and supporting positive change. Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child or your family, we will work collaboratively to create a therapeutic approach that feels safe, purposeful and suited to your goals.
