I am a psychotherapist working holistically with the mind body spirit. Working from psychodynamic psychotherapy framework, I can help you work through difficult personal experiences and corresponding difficulties in your relationships. My approach involves helping you look at your internal world- your thoughts/beliefs and patterns of behaviour (created early in life and replicated in your current challenges) and connect with the underlying emotions, so you can experience a changed relationship to self and others.
I have advanced knowledge of trauma informed recovery models and experience in the delivery of evidence informed practice in trauma recover. I have worked in the role of Practice Lead, providing supervision, professional learning and specialist consultation to counsellors in trauma informed practice. I have also been involved with teaching and psychotherapy research at various Universities.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) A short-term approach focused on improving relationships and social support. It is often used for depression and grief.
- Narrative Therapy Encourages people to view problems as separate from themselves and reframe their life story. It helps build resilience and self-identity.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
