About me
I am a Clinical Psychologist trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, with over 15 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based care. My practice focuses on supporting individuals living with chronic health conditions, gender affirmation processes, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I work from a person-centred perspective, offering a safe and inclusive space for emotional well-being and growth.
I also offer online psychological counselling to a diverse international clientele, helping individuals navigate work-related stress, emotional challenges, depression, anxiety and life transitions. My approach is rooted in clinical expertise and guided by a strong commitment to equity, empathy, and culturally sensitive care.
Alongside my clinical work, I am also a researcher in the psychosocial aspects of health, including HIV/STI prevention, stigma, and mental health recovery.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
My therapeutic approach is grounded in cognitive psychology, focusing on beliefs, behaviors, and patterns that may no longer be helpful. I work in a collaborative, horizontal way, trusting that each person is the expert on their own experience, while offering guidance to help them rediscover and strengthen their inner resources. I often suggest brief activities or practical tips to try between sessions, supporting meaningful change beyond the therapy space.
