Approach

My warm and direct approach enables me to work effectively with children, adolescents, and adults.

I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and general life stress, including work and school-related stressors, and providing support for individuals with ADHD and ASD. Additionally, I am qualified to administer ADHD and educational assessments, ensuring comprehensive support for my clients.

I primarily utilise Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy as the foundation of my therapeutic approach. I also incorporate techniques from other therapeutic modalities, such as Schema Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These approaches allow me to cater to each client's specific needs and goals.
