What is your background?

I am a Provisional Psychologist with experience supporting individuals across the lifespan struggling with anxiety, depression and adjusting to life transitions.

My approach is integrative and person-centred. I focus on each unique client’s individual needs and presentation, mainly drawing from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT).

Why do you like working with children and their families?

I enjoy working with children, families, and perinatal clients because these stages of life are foundational and deeply relational. Working with children and young people offers a unique opportunity to support emotional development early, helping them build skills for understanding themselves, navigating relationships, and managing challenges as they grow.

Family work allows space to honour the relationships that shape a child’s world. I value supporting parents and caregivers as they reflect on their strengths, deepen connection, and feel more confident in responding to their child’s needs. This collaborative work often creates meaningful change that extends beyond the therapy room.

Perinatal work is equally meaningful, as it supports individuals and families through a period of significant transition, vulnerability, and identity change. I aim to provide a steady, compassionate space where people can explore both the joys and challenges of this time, feel supported in their experiences, and develop a sense of trust in themselves and their relationships.

Across all areas of my work, I am drawn to creating a therapeutic space that feels warm, respectful, and collaborative, where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered in their unique journeys.

What are your strengths?

My priority is creating a sense of safety for my clients in the therapy room. I am a non-judgemental, kind and empathetic clinician who works from a client-centred, strengths-based approach. At first, it can feel intimidating and quite vulnerable seeing a psychologist, I respect how challenging it can be and how important it is for each client to feel safe, so they are able to open up honestly, and allow space for change.

I see each client for the unique individual that they are, and tailor my approach to best suit their needs.

What do you like to do in your free time?

Outside of work, I enjoy unwinding with family and friends. I love exploring new cafés, wine bars and tasting new foods. Cooking with my family, spending time at the beach,   chasing after my daughter and going for long walks with my dog and family are some of my favourite moments of the week.
