About Me

I am a qualified CBT psychotherapist with experience working with adults from diverse cultural and personal backgrounds. I hold professional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and work in line with evidence-based practice and ethical standards. My areas of expertise include anxiety disorders, depression, stress, low self-esteem, trauma, and emotional regulation difficulties. I support clients in understanding the links between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and in developing practical tools to help them cope more effectively and create meaningful change in their lives.

Approach

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I work with you to understand your experiences at your own pace, helping you identify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors while building practical skills for change. I tailor each session to your individual needs, combining structure with flexibility, and always priorities creating a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. I also work in a culturally sensitive way, ensuring you feel understood and respected. My focus is on empowering you with tools and insight that support lasting emotional wellbeing beyond therapy.
