Clinical Psychologist

Interest Areas 

I am a passionate clinical psychologist who strongly believes that therapy should feel empowering, client-centred and importantly, collaborative and safe. Building a strong alliance, and allowing my clients to be their authentic selves is extremely important in my practice. I aim to employ a  warm, compassionate and curious approach, making meaningful connections where we collaboratively explore goals to support mental health and overall wellbeing. I pride myself in my genuine, down-to-earth approach, where I bring honesty, curiosity and transparency in my work. I value showing up as my authentic self in sessions, and believe that meaningful change happens within a real, trusting therapeutic relationship.

 

Working at a pace that feels right for my clients is key, using evidence based therapies and strategies to help address what is important to each individual. I employ a range of evidenced based therapies in my work, including:

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Cognitive Behaviour therapy (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Mindfulness based strategies

• Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBTE) for eating disorders. 

 

It is important to note that I do not assess nor treat Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).
