As a dual qualified clinical and counselling psychologist , I strive to foster a non-judgemental, warm, and collaborative space for you to feel comfortable. I strongly believe there is no “one size fits all” approach, so although skilled in a number of evidence based therapy models such as CBT, my approach is individually tailored to your unique problems and circumstances.
I worked for a number of years in Canada in adult mental health in leadership roles before moving to the UK in 2015. The areas I specialise in are anxiety such as panic, social anxiety, phobias, OCD, PTSD, and the psychological and emotional aspects of managing long term health conditions.
I am passionate about culturally inclusive therapy and have published research in this area. I have been interviewed by the BBC several times as an expert in culturally inclusive practice. In my clinical work, this means that I embrace talking about your religious faith, cultural background, spiritual beliefs, or any experiences of racism or discrimination, and will tailor the approach and techniques to fit with this.
