Clinical and Counselling Psychologist


About me
With registrations in clinical and counselling psychology, I offer a calm, open space to explore and treat mental health, and to support self-exploration, insight and personal growth.
Treatment is evidence-based, progressive and personalised, with specialised training in trauma, depression and anxiety, addiction, complex presentations, perinatal issues and eating disorders. My approaches include EMDR, CBT, CBT-E, Schema Therapy (certified practitioner), Chairwork Psychotherapy, Prolonged Exposure, ACT, and psychoanalytic and existential psychotherapy, drawn on individually depending on each person's needs.
Counselling doesn't always require a diagnosis or crisis. Sometimes what's needed is simply space to think and explore, which can be just as healing. I aim to provide that space for clarity and meaning to emerge.
