I am a Clinical Psychologist focused on helping people develop a sense of security—both in their relationships and within themselves. I work with clients facing self-doubt, low self-esteem, and feelings of inadequacy. Together, we will transform your relationship with yourself and others, enhancing self-understanding, emotional awareness, and self-compassion so you can feel confident, valued, and worthy. We’ll also develop coping skills to help you feel more at ease in your life and relationships.  

Are you tired of virtual meetings? Are you yearning for a life that seems distant due to stress, fear, sadness, or anxiety? Would you prefer to discuss your issues in person, in a warm and supportive environment? I offer an open and curious mind, as well as a gentle and compassionate soul to help you enrich your life. We are often weighed down with feelings of unworthiness, shame or guilt. It takes courage to reach out for support. I am waiting for your call. I invite you to book a free 20-minute consultation so we can determine whether the relationship would be a good fit and to answer any questions you may have. I customize my techniques and tailor my approach to your specific needs. I use strength-based, solution-oriented and client-centred approaches to help you formulate goals, identify challenges and develop effective, long-lasting solutions. I am fully trained to address concerns for adults aged 18+ dealing with a variety of issues and concerns.  

I believe in you: your strengths, your intricate beauty, and your transformative potential. What I bring to the table are a fresh perspective, warmth, humour, and empirically-supported tools. My talk-based, collaborative approach integrates techniques from a number of modalities (commonly: mindfulness, cognitive behaviour therapy, narrative therapy, positive psych theory, neuroscience, bibliotherapy, psychoeducation, etc.) in the interest of effectively serving your unique goals and needs. I look forward to walking with you.  

My mottos are : "Be the cycle-breaking hero of your family lineage! The buck stops with you. Stop Dimming Your Light AND start disrupting multigenerational family patterns" I have created a unique blend of traditional talk therapy and eastern based modalities that work with the mind, the body and the soul which I call Holistic Psychotherapy. In addition to verbal unpacking of the core issues, I use neural science, visualization and intention to rewire the mind and belief systems that a person may have learned as survival tools in childhood, that no longer work for them in their adult lives and relationships. The work powerfully affects permanent and long-lasting change in an adult individuals, couples and/or adult families. My main focus is to disrupt multi generational dysfunction.

I am a fully accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist (BABCP) based in Richmond, London, offering both face-to-face and online therapy. I have over 13 years of experience helping people overcome difficulties including anxiety, OCD, stress, low self-esteem, perfectionism and depression. My approach is tailored to each individual. I believe therapy works best when we develop a clear understanding of your difficulties together and create a practical plan for meaningful change. I use evidence-based Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), including the UCL Case Formulation Model, alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy and Schema Therapy. I previously worked as a CBT therapist at the world famous Priory Hospital in Roehampton, where I created and delivered psychological treatment programmes, and I have been working in private practice since 2012. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, dealing with self-criticism or wanting to develop greater confidence and resilience, therapy can help you understand yourself and create lasting change. I offer confidential online therapy sessions and therapy in Richmond, London.  

Using substances or addictive behaviours to cope with underlying issues, you get short-term relief at a long-term cost. As you lose control, your health and relationships may be affected. You may then begin to realize the substance or behaviour is the problem, masking as the solution. If you've tried to stop and keep finding yourself back where you started, it can be frustrating. Counselling can help remove mental barriers, allowing you to break free from ineffective coping strategies so you can gain a sense of control, clarity, confidence, and start living the life you want. I often hear people say they try to reach out, but they don't feel understood. They often feel judged, unheard, or feel the person trying to help them has a hidden agenda. My approach is highly person-centered, meaning I help clients create a plan that works for their unique situation. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery. It can be hard to reach out for support. Many people wonder, "will it work for me?" and "what if things never change?" In early recovery, there's a lot of uncertainty. Luckily, long-term change is quite common, with the right support. If you don't know where to start, reach out for a free phone consultation and I can help guide you through the process.  

Over the last 6 decades decades I have had the opportunity to make significant mistakes, suffer and grow just like you.

Thank-you for visiting my page. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) Psychotherapist and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist. I support people in Vancouver/Richmond and communities in the Lower Mainland area. I aim to create a safe environment for you during our counselling sessions. A place where you feel connected, safe, and free to be yourself. I honour your truth and your story, I respect your openness and vulnerability. I am excited to learn what makes you a unique person. My goal is to create a therapeutic connection based on empathy, nonjudgement, care, and kindness. Your mental health, wellness, and resiliency are my priorities. I listen, I challenge, and I empower. It is important to me that you are heard and I will listen to your truth. Where appropriate, I may challenge you with kindness so that you feel inspired to make changes towards personal growth and overcoming obstacles. Your life experiences hold wisdom. Your wisdom and strengths contribute to your healing journey and personal transformation. I welcome you to reach out to me if you have any questions or would like to explore the possibilities of working together.  

I offer low-cost therapy services for anyone in need of a space to feel respected and heard. Rather than instructing you on what to do, my preference is to learn about your upbringing and all that you've experienced, so that I can better understand the source of your feelings. I've found that once clients can recognize the 'why' behind their emotions, reestablishing control over their lives becomes achievable. From start to finish, you'll be completely supported throughout your therapeutic journey. I specialize in anger management, addiction (online gambling), burnout, men's issues, and ADHD management. Of course, you're welcome to bring anything into our sessions. Whatever the topic of our work together, it'll always be conducted in a zero judgement space. You deserve to be supported and cared for. Those challenges you've been facing can be overcome with the help of a professional. If you're in need of a safe space where you can openly explore your feelings and find a way forward, feel free to reach out so we can get our first session together started.  

Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives. I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.  

While my primary focus as a therapist to support and counsel, I always strive to achieve these goals by being a real person. I work hard to balance accountability, respect, humour and healing so that therapy can be something that we look forward to. I want to remove as much of the fluff from the therapeutic process and work as much honesty and integrity as possible and that is something that is reflected and felt in our sessions. I work with and affirm folks from all walks of life and from all identities as long as there is a willingness to show up.  

Living with addiction in a relationship can feel confusing, exhausting, and isolating. Many partners find themselves trying everything they can to help, while feeling increasingly powerless. My goal is to help you make sense of what’s happening, reconnect with your own voice, and develop more effective ways of responding that support both your well-being and the possibility of real change. For over 30 years, I have had the privilege of helping individuals and couples navigate some of life’s most difficult relationship challenges, including alcohol and substance use concerns and the lasting effects of trauma. As a trained couples and family therapist, I have a particular focus on supporting partners and spouses whose lives have been deeply affected by a loved one’s addiction. As a Registered Psychotherapist, I draw on a wide range of evidence-based approaches to meet the unique needs of each person I work with. My training includes Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Motivational Interviewing, Somatic Therapy, and Exposure Therapy. These approaches allow us to work not only with practical skills for communication and boundaries, but also with the deeper emotional and relational patterns that keep people feeling stuck. I strive to create a thoughtful, respectful space where you feel heard and understood. Together we can navigate the complexities of your situation and help you move toward greater clarity, stability, and confidence in how you move forward.  

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is truly fulfilling. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life and build a stronger and happier future.  

Having worked with children, adolescents, individuals with intellectual developmental issues and adults struggling with various emotions, self-esteem and communication issues, I’d like to support you on your journey.
