I endeavour to develop a safe, comfortable and judgement-free space for people to explore their daily challenges and aspirations in life. I seek to provide individualised evidence-based treatments to facilitate meaningful change and growth.

 

I believe in the importance of collaboration to empower change through the development of greater self-awareness, adaptive skills, and different ways of thinking.
