About Me

As a Senior Occupational Therapist with 14 years’ experience, I support individuals facing mental health challenges. I specialise in addiction management, and helping young people and adults navigate anxiety, depression, and trauma. Using Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, I guide clients to develop practical skills for daily life. My goal is to help build resilience. Clients managing past events or seeking ongoing well-being support find a grounded approach here.

Approach

Experience across clinical settings taught me to structure sessions around practical steps and clear goals. In Kampala I meet people in English and offer remote sessions when needed, keeping work focused, paced to your life, and respectful of school or work routines. Sessions blend short, achievable experiments, mood and routine tracking, and collaborative problem‑solving for cravings, anxious cycles or traumatic memories; between sessions I set small exercises and brief check‑ins so progress is steady. This approach suits those who want hands‑on, skill‑based change.
