You've probably already done a lot of searching — for answers, for the right label, for something that actually helps. I'm here to help you move forward from there.
I'm a qualified Clinical Psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience helping people navigate everything from everyday stress and life transitions through to complex and longstanding difficulties.
Areas I work with include:
Stress and anxiety — breaking cycles of worry and overwhelm
Depression — rebuilding motivation, meaning, and connection
Relationships — improving communication, boundaries, and intimacy
Trauma and abuse — healing safely at your own pace
Focus and attention — developing strategies for a clearer, calmer mind
Life changes — finding direction through transitions, loss, and uncertainty
Mood and personality disorders — including Bipolar Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and OCD
You don't need to arrive with everything figured out. Whether you're in a crisis point, a relationship breakdown or something has been quietly building for years, we'll work together to make sense of what's going on and find a way through.
What sets psychotherapy apart is the opportunity to go deeper — beyond managing symptoms to understanding where they came from. Many of the patterns that hold us back as adults have roots in early experiences and childhood. I have substantial experience in helping clients explore that history, make sense of it, and finally free themselves from it.
I draw on a rich toolkit of evidence-based approaches, tailored to what works best for you. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Mentalization-Based Therapy, Exposure Therapy, Psychosomatic Therapy, and Psychoeducation. My advanced training in Transactional Analysis also informs how I work with communication patterns, self-awareness, and personal autonomy.
I bring a particular depth of understanding around cultural identity, gender, and the social factors that shape our mental health — something many clients find refreshing and validating.
I also serve on the Ethics Committee at PACFA, reflecting my commitment to the highest standards of professional and ethical care.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
