Approach
Clinical Practice
Clinical Practice
Clinical Practice
I am an experienced Clinical Psychologist. This experience enables me to offer effective, evidence-based and individualized psychological care. I treat a wide range of mental health difficulties. This typically involves having an assessment and then jointly creating a treatment plan. We monitor your progress via agreed goals.
Treatment Focus
Clinical Practice
Clinical Practice
My focus is to facilitate increased self-awareness, clarity and to create change. I provide the space, structure and questions to help create clarity. Once we have a greater understanding of the origin and pattern of your difficulties, we build upon strengths and learn new strategies that create change, connection and empowerment.

Your Well-being
I am committed to my clients. I care about what my clients want and where they want to be in their lives. I provide a space that is compassionate, non-judgmental, warm and stimulating. I am comfortable with emotion and 'tricky brains'. I find my work meaningful and I am inspired by the therapy process.

Starting Therapy...
People come to therapy for many reasons. For example; it may be to understand and process experiences from the past, to impact on issues effecting the 'here-and-now', to understand yourself better in relation to others, to sleep better, to perform better etc. You can 'start' where you want and ask for what help you need. Some clients feel clear about where to start, some feel less sure - either way, my experience will guide you through the process.
