Therapeutic Approach
I specialise in providing individual counselling services for children, adolescents, and adults. My approach includes evidence-based practices such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), solution focused therapy and mindfulness. I am dedicated to supporting clients in their journey towards mental wellbeing.
​
My approach is compassionate, integrative, and tailored to each person’s unique experience. I believe that therapy should be a collaborative process where we work together to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a safe and supportive environment.
​
Whether you are an adolescent seeking guidance, a parent navigating family dynamics, or an adult looking to improve your mental wellbeing, I am here to support you. Together, we can work towards healing, growth, and lasting positive change.
