Having had the privilege to work as a psychologist for 20years in both the public and private sector, I can say that sometimes we all need a guiding hand when life gets challenging. Whether you require extensive support or just a place to get things off your chest and refocus, then I'm here to help.
I have always taken pride in individually tailoring therapy sessions to meet my clients' needs and work a their pace, with either a structured or flexible approach. Through this process and with practical interventions, I have loved seeing my clients discover their strengths and become empowered with positive changes they make to their lives and well-being.
