How I work
As a Clinical Psychologist, I use an integrative approach—drawing on a range of evidence-based therapies to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, goals, and circumstances. I work with people across the lifespan and with a wide variety of emotional, relational, and psychological concerns.
The therapeutic process
The therapeutic process begins with a collaborative assessment phase, where we explore what has led you to seek support at this time. This includes gaining an understanding of your current difficulties, the personal or historical experiences that may be shaping them, and the patterns that have developed over time. Together, we’ll clarify your goals and what you hope to change, building a shared foundation that will guide our work and support meaningful, lasting progress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
I incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a widely used and well-researched approach that focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. CBT helps individuals identify and challenge unhelpful thinking patterns, build more balanced perspectives, and develop practical strategies for coping with difficult emotions and situations.
Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)
I have also completed further training in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR)—a powerful, evidence-based therapy for processing trauma and distressing life experiences by helping the brain reprocess stuck or overwhelming memories.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
My therapeutic work is grounded in Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), which supports people in developing a kinder, more balanced relationship with themselves—particularly when struggling with shame, self-criticism, or low self-worth. CFT combines insights from neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and attachment theory to help cultivate inner strength, courage, and compassion.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
I am also informed by Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles, which view the mind as made up of different parts—each with its own perspective and role. This approach encourages self-awareness and healing by helping people relate to their inner experience with curiosity and compassion.
Systemic principles
My work is also shaped by systemic principles, which consider the influence of family dynamics, relationships, and social context on mental health.
Together, these approaches allow me to offer a flexible, thoughtful, and compassionate therapeutic space that supports healing, growth, and lasting change.
