My passion lies in helping and guiding my clients to heal from past emotional trauma that is stuck in the body. Throughout my years as a psychologist, I have come to realize that most mental health issues stem from past unresolved trauma and intra-psychic conflicts that the client might or not be aware of. These sets of traumas often remain hidden as they have been repressed in the subconscious mind and body, yet they indirectly cause one to feel “stuck” in the present moment. Many adults report that they are plagued by the same emotional themes in their life whether they feel constantly not good enough, insecure, guilty, fearful or that they find themselves sabotaging relationships over and over again.

As an experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist I try to understand the meaning of behaviour rather than pathologising behaviour. My focus is on helping you to make connections about how your past history may have contributed to your present difficulties and to empower you to find your own voice and create effective change in your life and in your personal, couple and family relationships.

As well as the more conventional approaches of clinical psychology I make active use of my background in yoga, meditation and creative arts therapies.
I help people with anxiety and relationship issues.
If you are suffering with social anxiety, worry, intrusive thoughts, panic, and/or perfectionism, I will work with you to understand the root cause of your anxiety and learn strategies to manage the difficult physical and emotional symptoms that come with anxiety.
If you are having relationship issues, at home, work or with friends, I will work with you to identify the dynamics in relationships and look at what you can do to improve relationships, set boundaries, or re assess the relationships if necessary (please note I do not see couples).
I take a compassionate and practical approach to my counselling, with a focus on helping you improve the relationship you have with yourself, and identify healthier ways of coping, so you can live a more fulfilled and peaceful life.
