About me
I am a neurodivergent queer psychologist who is deeply committed to providing an inclusive, affirming space where people can explore their identities and experiences with support and understanding. Drawing from both professional expertise and lived experience, I focus on helping people navigating life’s complexities in a way that aligns with their personal needs and goals.
In my work, I aim to foster a therapeutic environment where you feel empowered to explore your challenges and strengths. I recognise that each person’s journey is unique, and my approach is flexible and collaborative to ensure it best supports your needs. Whether you're navigating issues related to identity, relationships, emotional regulation, or daily life challenges, I’m here to help you find clarity, growth, and healing at your own pace.

Approach
Treatment Approaches
CBT: Cognitive behavioral therapyRecommended for those looking for practical support and accountability to change unhelpful thinking and behaviors.
Integrative therapy Recommended for those who prefer a flexible approach that combines different therapies to meet their unique needs.
Person-centered approachRecommended for those looking for a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can lead the conversation and explore their feelings at their own pace.
My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing from various psychological frameworks while being rooted in a humanistic, person-centered foundation. I believe therapy should be flexible and responsive to each person’s unique needs, creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.
I tailor my methods to align with your personal experiences, values, and ways of thinking, ensuring our work together is meaningful and supportive. Whether you’re navigating challenges related to ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ identity, gender identity exploration, relationships, or daily life, my focus is on fostering growth, reflection, and emotional healing. Together, we explore how to approach life with greater self-compassion, resilience, and understanding.
Above all, I view therapy as a collaborative journey. A journey where we work together to uncover insights, develop strategies, and create a path that supports your well-being and personal growth.
