About Me
Embarking on a therapeutic journey is a courageous step, and I'm here to help you commit to a better future. My approach is based on compassion, understanding and evidence-based practices. So, if you’re nervous about beginning therapy, know that I’m going to work with you to find the right approach - drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other methods to make sure each session is tailored to what delivers the best results for you. And it’s easy to make space for therapy in your life. I offer affordable sessions even in the evenings and at the weekends.
Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. Anxiety, depression, close relationships and low self-esteem are all possible stressors. But together, we can uncover your inner strength and resilience. Let’s give you a toolbox to draw from that helps you face future obstacles head-on and turn them into a foundation for personal growth.
No matter what approaches we take to your treatment, you’ll always feel heard, seen and validated. All you need to do is send me a quick message. It can be a thought or a question. Just a few words right now can launch a journey that will transform your life forever.
Approach
I believe in therapy that feels genuine and impactful to you, the real person behind the screen. I want you to feel safe to unravel your thoughts and feelings, no matter how deep or challenging. And I’ll help you to work through them to find understanding, clarity and a positive future direction. We’ll use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and integrate other proven methods to find what you respond to together.
