Areas of specialisation

01
Anxiety & Panic
Disorders

OCD, GAD, social anxiety, panic attacks — if your nervous system has been running at DEFCON 1 for months, we can work together to bring it down a few notches. Evidence-based, no crystals required.

02
Depression

I won't promise miracles in a single session — but in 7–10 well-structured sessions, we can meaningfully shift how you're functioning and feeling. The pit is real. The ladder out is also real.

03
Emotional
Dysregulation

Flooded by anxiety, rage, guilt, shame? When emotions are driving and you're in the boot, it's time we swap seats. We'll use DBT and ACT alongside CBT to build your emotional toolkit.

04
Burnout &
Behavioural Addictions

Workaholism, doomscrolling, compulsive shopping — socially acceptable suffering is still suffering. Let's look honestly at what you're avoiding, and build something more sustainable in its place.

"For those who are tired of coping, tolerating, and living at half capacity."

The person
on the other screen

I'm a Clinical Psychologist and CBT therapist with a Master's degree and over nine years of experience working with adults navigating anxiety, depression, and emotional overwhelm.

My approach is grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, and mindfulness-based practice — all of which have substantial research backing. No pseudoscience. No vague "inner child" work (though your history absolutely informs our sessions).

I believe in structured, goal-oriented therapy that respects your time and intelligence. I'll be direct when I need to be, and I always assign homework — because 50 minutes a week only goes so far.

My principles

🔒
Complete Confidentiality

Everything said in session stays in session — full stop. I operate under strict ethical and legal duty of confidentiality. Your private life is private.

🔬
Evidence-Based Only

I use CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based methods — approaches with decades of peer-reviewed research. No intuition-led "modalities". Just what actually works.

🎯
Structured & Directive

Sessions are purposeful, not meandering. I keep us focused, occasionally redirect, and always send you away with homework. It's 70% of what makes therapy effective.

⚖️
Reality, Not Positivity

I won't tell you to "manifest" your way out of depression. I'll help you identify cognitive distortions, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build an accurate — not rosy — view of yourself and the world.
