My Approach
I am a Clinical Psychologist and former School Teacher and have spent all of my career working alongside young people
as they navigate anxiety, stress, emotional difficulties and important life transitions.
I have a deep appreciation of the pressures faced by adolescents and young adults and love that these years are full of growth, change and possibility. What an honour it is to help a young person flourish into adulthood!
In life we are all so different. I approach each individual with curiosity, seeking to understand what is important for them and how we can work together to build existing strengths and develop new capabilities. I strive to create a calm, reflective and collaborative space where individuals can explore what is happening for them and make meaningful change.
Life can be Exciting, Confusing, Joyful and Overwhelming - Often All at Once!
I love working with people to help them make sense of their thoughts and feelings, build confidence, and move towards a life that feels fulfilling, meaningful and aligned with what matters most to them.
I bring compassion and warmth, moments of fun and laughter,
and a grounded approach to
reflection, learning and
positive growth.
If you are curious about yourself and others, open to being honest and courageous, and willing
to engage in the work of
personal development and change, I would welcome the opportunity to work with you.
