About me
Reaching out for psychological support can feel like a big step, especially when you’re used to handling things on your own. My aim is to make that first step feel a little easier.
I’m a psychologist and the founder of PsydKicks, my online psychology practice. I work with people experiencing a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, low mood and depression, stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, ADHD and autism-related challenges, identity and self-esteem, and difficult life transitions.
My approach is personal, open, and down-to-earth. I believe that therapy works best when you feel genuinely comfortable with the person you’re talking to. Rather than simply applying the same method to everyone, I take the time to understand you, what you’re going through, and what you would like to change.
My own experiences with depression, anxiety, and difficult relationships have also shaped the psychologist I am today. I know from personal experience how difficult it can be to open up and ask for help. For me, learning to talk about what I was going through, seeing things from a different perspective, and eventually seeking professional support made an enormous difference.
That experience is one of the reasons I chose this work. I want therapy to be a space where you can speak honestly, without feeling judged or having to pretend that everything is fine.
Today, alongside my work here, I run PsydKicks, an independent online psychology practice built around something I consider especially important: finding a psychologist who genuinely feels like the right fit for you.
If you’re wondering whether I might be the right psychologist for you, feel free to send me a message. We can start with a free, no-obligation introductory conversation, get to know each other a little, and see whether working together feels right.

Approach
My therapeutic approach
In my work, I integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with Psychodynamic Therapy. This allows us to look at both what is happening in your life now and the experiences that may have shaped the way you think, feel, and relate to yourself and others.
CBT helps us recognise patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours that may be keeping you stuck. Together, we can explore these patterns, question thoughts or beliefs that are no longer helping you, and develop different ways of responding to difficult situations.
At the same time, I believe it is important to understand where our patterns come from. The way we respond to situations today is often influenced by earlier experiences, relationships, and the ways we learned to cope. Through a psychodynamic approach, we can explore these deeper patterns and begin to understand not only what you are experiencing, but why certain feelings, situations, or relationships affect you in the way they do.
I don’t believe therapy should follow exactly the same formula for everyone. Some people come to therapy wanting practical strategies for something they are struggling with right now. Others want to understand themselves on a deeper level, or find themselves repeating the same patterns without quite knowing why. Often, we do a combination of both.
My role is not to tell you how you should think or feel, but to create a space where we can understand what is happening together and find an approach that feels useful and meaningful to you.
