Areas of Interest

How I Work
I am integrative in my work and draw on a range of evidence based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). My aim is to create a warm, compassionate and safe space for clients to feel heard and understood. Together I work with clients to identify their hopes and goals for therapy, and support in working towards achieving meaningful changes that enhance their wellbeing and alleviate distress.
