Overview

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years of clinical experience in the mental health field. I have a passion for integrating contemporary psychology with Mindfulness-based therapies. I draw from the traditions of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Somatic focused therapies. I work with individuals experiencing an array of mental health issues. I aim to create a safe and inspiring space to facilitate healing of the heart and mind. I see my role as helping people to find their way in overcoming obstacles and creating ‘a life worth living’ in a respectful, non-judgemental and compassionate manner.
