About Me

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with extensive experience supporting individuals and families from diverse backgrounds, including various socioeconomic, racial, and faith groups. I specialize in psychotherapy and psycho-educational assessments, helping clients address challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and other mental health concerns.

My expertise spans working with adolescents, adults, and older adults, providing a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their challenges and achieve personal growth. I take an integrative therapeutic approach, tailoring treatment plans to each individual’s needs. My practice draws on evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), to promote emotional balance and resilience.

Alongside my clinical practice, I am a part-time Psychology lecturer and an active advocate for mental health awareness through non-governmental organizations. I am deeply committed to addressing period poverty and empowering individuals to overcome societal and psychological barriers. My focus is on reducing unhelpful thoughts and feelings, fostering emotional strength, and celebrating progress toward well-being.

Therapeutic Approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

This approach helps clients identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours that contribute to their problems. The therapist works collaboratively with the client to develop strategies to challenge and modify these patterns, leading to improved mood and functioning.

Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)

This approach combines mindfulness techniques with values-based action to help clients develop greater psychological flexibility and live a more fulfilling life. The therapist helps clients identify and accept their difficult thoughts and feelings, while guiding them towards actions that align with their values.
