Working with me
I’m a licensed psychotherapist and psychologist with extensive experience. I value the individuality of each person and approach therapy with respect for your experiences.
I hold a BSc in Psychology, an MSc in Developmental Psychology, and an MSc in Occupational Psychology. I'm trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Integrative Therapy.
I've worked with clients in various settings, including the public and private sectors, hospitals, universities, and health organisations. This has allowed me to support diverse individuals with a range of mental health conditions, helping them improve their well-being and performance
What to expect from therapy
In our sessions, you'll find a warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental space. I value active listening and open communication, allowing you to share your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. You are the expert on your life—I'm here to listen, support, and help you develop the skills you need.
Whether you're looking to manage symptoms, boost self-awareness, or grow personally, we can do it together. I believe in your strength, resilience, and ability to change. Let’s explore your past, understand your present, and build a brighter future together. I’m confident in the results we can achieve together.

Online therapy is made to fit right into your life and schedule, making it easier for you to get support without the hassle. You can enjoy the convenience and flexibility of fitting therapy into your busy routine.
Is online therapy effective?
Online therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy, and quickly becoming a vital part of modern mental health care. Initial concerns about feeling distant or distracted typically fade after the first few sessions. Genuine connections and meaningful progress are entirely possible in a virtual setting.
