Counseling Psychologist

“I am a Counselling Psychologist with more than 13 years of experience supporting children, young people and adults through anxiety, trauma, and complex emotional challenges. My work is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed practice and shaped by a systemic and multicultural perspective that respects each person’s unique life story. I specialise in anxiety disorders, OCD, mood-related difficulties and stress, using practical, tailored strategies such as CBT and mindfulness to help clients build skills that last. I offer a calm, supportive space where therapy moves at your pace and focuses on sustainable change rather than quick fixes. I have worked across healthcare, education, and community settings and I enjoy collaborating with families and multidisciplinary teams to support meaningful, long-term growth. My approach is compassionate, pragmatic and rooted in helping you understand yourself more deeply while developing clear, manageable steps forward.”

About Me

I am a Counselling Psychologist with over 13 years of experience supporting children, young people, and adults with anxiety disorders, trauma, and complex emotional difficulties. My practice is grounded in evidence-based, trauma-informed approaches and shaped by a strong systemic and multicultural framework that recognises the impact of family, culture, and context on mental health. I specialise in working with anxiety, depression, OCD and other difficulties, using CBT, mindfulness based interventions and developmentally appropriate therapeutic approaches to support meaningful, long-term change. I am committed to compassionate, reflective practice and to creating safe, inclusive spaces where individuals and families can build resilience and thrive.

Approach

When things feel overwhelming or heavy, I work with you to gently make sense of what’s happening and find clear, manageable steps forward. Sessions move at your pace, with space to reflect, pause, and breathe. I may draw on gentle mindfulness practices, simple assessments when useful and practical strategies to try between sessions. My aim is to offer a supportive space where you feel understood and where the changes we work towards are steady, lasting and truly helpful over time.

Basic Information

In-person & Online

Services

I work with children, young people and adults experiencing anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma-related difficulties and mood concerns. I have extensive experience supporting individuals through life transitions and adjustment issues, including changes related to family, relationships, education, work, health, or relocation. My practice also includes working with relationship difficulties, parenting challenges and family related stress, helping clients navigate communication, boundaries and emotional connection. I support individuals struggling with body image concerns, low self-esteem and self-confidence, often where these difficulties are linked to anxiety, trauma, or life stressors. Across all areas of work, I take a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach, focusing on sustainable change, emotional resilience and a deeper understanding of self and relationships.
