Expertise & Approach
Biography
I am a Registered Psychologist who works with adults experiencing a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, emotional regulation difficulties, and disordered eating.
Â
I have a particular interest in the relationship between mental health and physical wellbeing, and in supporting people to develop healthier, more sustainable habits that nurture both their psychological and overall wellbeing. I also support individuals navigating weight management, oncology, and the psychological aspects of bariatric surgery.
Â
My approach is warm, collaborative, compassionate, practical, and non-judgemental. I believe our mental health, behaviours, physical health, and daily habits are deeply interconnected, and that meaningful change involves understanding the factors that influence how we think, feel, and behave.
Â
I draw on evidence-based approaches including CBT, EMDR, ACT, and DBT, tailoring therapy to each person’s individual needs and goals. I aim to create a safe and supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to develop self-awareness, practical strategies, and sustainable changes that support a healthier and more fulfilling life.
