I’m a dedicated Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with an MA in Counselling Psychology. My background includes working frontline in family services, addictions, and domestic violence community agencies, which has shaped my approach to therapy.

Drawing from a wide range of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy, I tailor my approach to fit each client’s unique needs.
