Clinical Psychologist
I value therapy that is both thoughtful and purposeful. Taking the time to develop a deep understanding of what has brought someone to therapy allows us to build a plan that is tailored to their individual needs, while always recognising the person behind the difficulties they’re experiencing.
While my approach is grounded in careful formulation and evidence-based practice, I also believe that people do their best work when they feel genuinely understood and respected. I hope our work together helps you develop greater insight, confidence and practical ways of responding to life’s challenges that continue to serve you well into the future.
As a Clinical Psychologist at Laburnum Psychology, I work with clients across a range of therapy and counselling needs.
I take an individualised approach to therapy, beginning with a careful understanding of the different factors that may be contributing to a person's difficulties and the patterns or processes that may be maintaining them. Developing this shared understanding helps us identify where change may be most helpful and guides the approaches and strategies we use.
