My training and professional experience has taught me to me to use an integrative approach. This means I draw on different psychological models according to your needs. Some of the models that I often utilise include Cognitive and Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Eye-Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Systemic Therapy. Inherent to my approach, and the models I utilise, is understanding therapy is a collaborative process which encourages and builds on your unique strengths and skills.

I have worked with people at many different stages of life, and on a range of issues. Some of the concerns that I have experience working with include feelings of stress and anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, living with chronic pain, and relationship difficulties. However, I also know that sometimes the reason for starting therapy is not so easy to identify or express; I am experienced in working with this, and at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I have over eight years of working clinically as a psychologist which has included experience working with feelings of stress and anxiety, low mood, low self-esteem, trauma, grief, living with chronic pain, and relationship difficulties. I have worked with people at many different stages of life, going through transitions and adjusting to new change.

The majority of my clinical experience is from working within the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK. Since 2023 I have been based in Amsterdam and working independently. I am accredited with the UK Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I am also a chartered member of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and a member of the Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen (NIP).
