Welcome

Psychological problems are common, and at some point, many Canadians will experience difficulties which might benefit from professional help. It is also true that a lot of people who could benefit do not seek help because of fears and stigma around mental health problems.

Coming to see a psychologist does not mean that you are weak or a failure. In fact, recognising that you may need help can take courage and strength. It is also your first important step to overcoming your problems. There is now abundant research evidence showing that psychological therapies are effective, and so you do not need to soldier on feeling that nothing can be done to change your situation for the better.

I offer evidence-based psychological therapy that is collaborative, respecting and nurturing to both individuals and couples, and tailored to your needs and circumstances.

My  values

You may feel nervous about coming to speak to someone you have never met before about your problems. This is natural and I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space in which you are able to talk about what is troubling you at your own pace, respecting gender, sexual orientation, ethnicity, nationality, religion or other individual differences. My approach has always attempted to identify and build on people’s strengths and resources whilst at the same time enabling them to creatively look at and overcome their problems. My ultimate aim is for you to gain confidence and develop new ways of coping.

My  experience

As a clinical psychologist I use my knowledge of psychology and therapeutic approaches combined with 6 years of clinical experience to help people overcome problems, such as depression, panic, anxiety, addictions, low self-esteem, sexual and relationship problems.
