About Me

I hold an MSc in Mental Health Studies from King’s College London, complemented by clinical experience gained across the NHS and locally at Chiromo Hospital Group.

Approach

I provide a safe, non-judgemental and contained space for clients to reflect on their difficulties. I work collaboratively with clients to come up with goals for therapy as I introduce therapeutic tools and techniques that might be useful.
