“As a psychotherapist with over 20 years in private practice, I am dedicated to honest insight, firm guidance, and gentle support for individuals and couples.”
About Me
I am a passionate and experienced psychologist, and have been in private practice for over 20 years. My aim has always been to support and honour each person’s unique story and therapeutic journey.
I offer psychotherapy for adolescents, adults, parents and couples, as they navigate a wide range of emotional, behavioural, or relational challenges, creating a safe space to explore what truly matters and what will bring about the change you seek in your life. Reconnecting with your inner wisdom and tapping into your inherent strengths.
If you're ready to take that step, I'm here to walk alongside you.
Approach
As a psychologist, I work with individuals, couples, and families to explore the deeper layers of their inner worlds, building greater self-understanding, emotional resilience, and meaningful change. My integrative approach draws from psychoanalytic, psychodynamic, and solution-focused therapies, carefully adapted to your specific needs, going beyond symptom relief to uncover and address the underlying patterns that sustain distress.
Whether facing anxiety's quiet storms, healing from past wounds, or seeking clarity in life's uncertainties, I honour the unique rhythm of your journey. Our conversations may sometimes be direct and challenging, yet they are always grounded in compassion, respect, and a deep understanding of your vulnerability.
You do not have to navigate this path alone. If you're ready to engage in this important work, I would be honoured to support you with curiosity, care, and commitment.
