I am a compassionate attachment based therapist and bring a warm, non-judgmental, style to my practice, providing a safe environment for you to collaboratively explore, understand and transcend your challenges. I have over 12 years’ experience working therapeutically with clients both individually and in groups in public and private settings.

 

I use varied treatment modalities to suit the individual needs of my clients and understand the importance of finding the right approach for each client. I have clinical experience in providing evidence-based psychological treatments including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy, Compassion Focussed Therapy and Dialectic Behaviour Therapy based approaches. I am an accredited mental health social worker and a certified clinical trauma professional. While it is reassuring to clients that their clinician is trained in a wide range of evidence based therapies, key to the success of therapy is the therapeutic relationship between the client and their therapist. In my view, this is enhanced by the deep empathic understanding of the therapist developed through the therapist’s own life experience, extensive self-development and work on themselves, and the application of their models to their own lives to gain a thorough understanding of a range of both practical and existential frameworks.
