My aim is to help people through their psychological difficulties, empowering them to improve their lives. Through attentive listening and collaborative dialogue, tailored pathways are developed to cultivate adaptive responses to life's challenges.

My therapeutic style is characterized by client-directed, thoughtful, and collaborative engagement. The process of feeling understood and gaining insight into the various ways your mind works can be truly liberating. Clients are encouraged to examine their habits, narratives, and interactions with their world, including language, thoughts, behaviours, and emotional responses. Together, we carefully analyse these aspects to engage new ways of functioning and build positive habits and pathways aligned with the demands and challenges of their lives.

Research informed practices are brought to the exploration of the issues the client brings to therapy. At each session clients will be asked to collaboratively work on concrete goals and useful activities.

With extensive experience in training psychologists, coupled with my clinical background, research expertise, and personal life experiences, I am confident in my ability to assist clients across a broad range of concerns and presenting problems. I remain committed to staying at the forefront of the field through teaching, supervision, and ongoing academic activities.
