Overview

I have been a registered psychologist since 1997. Throughout my career, I have been guided and inspired by the possibility of helping people live their fullest, most authentic and enjoyable lives. Everything I do begins with the deepest hopes and aspirations of the wonderful people I work with. From there, we explore and learn together to manage all the inevitable difficulties that arise when we try to move in the direction of what we care about. <p><p> I work with people doing therapy, executive coaching and in groups. Throughout all this work there are some key principles that I hold dear. First, I aim to empower people to find what matters most to them, and do that even when it is hard. Second, there is always the possibility for change and growth both in people and in systems, even though it might be hard to see at any given moment. Finally, I only make use of approaches that are based in solid evidence that they work.<p><p> I work with people doing therapy, coaching or working in groups. Whether you want to improve your own life, or the lives of those in your group or team, I greatly look forward to working with you, your team or your organisation to enhance your vitality, relationships and performance. Please note that I only provide therapy on Fridays.
