Provisional Psychologist
I believe therapy should feel like a place where you can slow down, reflect and make sense of your experiences without feeling judged or rushed. My aim is to create a warm and collaborative space where we work together to understand not only the challenges you’re facing, but also the experiences, relationships and personal strengths that have shaped who you are.
I enjoy balancing thoughtful reflection with purposeful direction, adapting the way we work to suit your individual needs and goals. Whether you’re looking for greater understanding, practical support, or simply a space to process life’s challenges, my hope is that therapy helps you develop greater self-understanding, confidence and a stronger sense of direction moving forward.
As a Provisional Psychologist at Laburnum Psychology, I work with clients across a range of therapy and counselling needs.
I don't believe meaningful therapy comes from following a single model or applying the same approach to everyone. Instead, I value drawing on a range of evidence based therapies, adapting them thoughtfully to each person's experiences, goals and the way they naturally engage in the therapeutic process. Taking the time to understand the individual always comes before deciding which approaches are likely to be most helpful.
