About me

I grew up as a third-culture kid in an internationally mobile family. I have lived in Spain, France, England, Scotland, Andorra and The Netherlands. I am very familiar with the complex and nuanced cultural expectations and bureaucratic systems that accompany internationally mobile individuals.

Approach

Treatment Approaches
CFT: Compassion-Focused TherapyRecommended for those who want to be kinder to themselves and reduce negative self-talk, often using mindfulness techniques.
Psychodynamic therapyRecommended for those looking to explore their emotions deeply and understand how past experiences shape their present life.
Schema therapyRecommended for those who want to break out of negative patterns or "schemas" that they developed early in life and keep repeating.
I work from an integrative counselling, relational, culturally-sensitive and compassionate lens. I view the therapeutic relationship as the foundation from which changes can emerge, often gradually.

Experience

I have been working with expats from all walks of life - on international assignments, third-culture kids (TCK's) and international students in a psychological practice in the Netherlands since December 2025.

Education

Following my Bachelor's in Psychology at Oxford Brookes University, I studied a Master's in Clinical Psychology at Utrecht University training in CBT.

I then pursued a Postgraduate Diploma in Psychotherapy (Person-centred & Psychodynamic Counselling) at the University of Edinburgh.
