Kind in Mind
As a clinical psychologist working in private practice for over 10 years, I am passionate about helping individuals to improve their wellbeing, develop adaptive mental skills and manage difficult emotions in order to move toward connection, coping and change.
My approach is grounded in curiosity and compassion, alongside critical thinking and evidence-based practice. I enjoy all things to do with the science of psychology to optimise the potential of our brain, achieve our goals, and to navigate our challenges.
I take a holistic approach, and integrate a variety of techniques across evidence-based therapeutic domains to be responsive to individual needs. I have a warm, easygoing and empathetic style; I aim to build a collaborative, respectful and supportive relationship my clients as they create meaningful change. This is a space for clients to be able to truly self-reflect and feel empowered with tools to create tactical change and personal growth.
I have a strong appreciation for each of our unique backgrounds and shared humanness, which shape our experience of ourselves and the world. I am deeply invested in helping people to move through emotional and psychological challenges to experience more wellbeing.
Ultimately through therapy I hope that each of us can gain a better understanding of ourselves, and to build a more rich, purposeful, authentic life.
