For me, psychology is about connection—being with people, hearing their stories, and helping them navigate life’s challenges. I believe that everyone deserves to feel understood, validated, and supported, and I’m passionate about creating a space where people can explore their emotions and experiences without fear of judgment.

There’s something incredibly fulfilling about helping people uncover their own strengths, heal from past wounds, and move toward a more fulfilling and peaceful life. I see therapy as a collaborative process, where my role is to hold space for you to tap into your own innate wisdom and find solutions that align with your values and needs.

I take a person-centred approach to therapy, which means I prioritise creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and supported. My role is not to give direct advice but to reflect, validate, and guide clients toward their own insights and solutions. I believe that healing happens through genuine connection, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

In addition to person-centred therapy, I integrate a range of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Schema Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, family therapy, and psychoeducation. I also take a neurodiversity-affirming approach, ensuring that my practice is inclusive and strengths-based.

I’ve had a diverse career, working in fields as varied as IT development, event management, and, somewhat randomly, film production. I’ve also volunteered internationally—building houses, participating in turtle conservation, and helping to promote alternative fuels. At one stage, I even ran a business as a laughter yoga teacher. These experiences have given me a broad perspective, the ability to relate to people from all walks of life, and a strong belief in encouraging others to pursue their dreams, no matter how unconventional they may seem.

Having worked across different industries and cultures, I understand the challenges people face in their careers, relationships, and personal growth. These experiences help me connect with clients in an authentic way, recognising that no two life paths are the same. They have also reinforced my belief that everyone has the capacity for change and growth, no matter where they start.
