As a Counselling Psychologist, I have been trained in a variety of psychological theories and practices. This training, along with my clinical experience, allows me to be flexible and tailor my approach for each individual client depending on their needs and preferences.

I place great importance on the therapeutic relationship and view therapy as a collaboration between myself and my clients. I strive to create a warm, non-judgemental and safe space, where we can work together to build understanding and finds ways to move forward.
