My work involves actively listening to the core needs of my clients and through my diverse experience helping them to resolve any internal conflict that might exist and equipping them with the necessary skillset to facilitate and maintain positive change in their lives.
I consider myself to be an integrative Counselling Psychologist as I am a firm believer in the metaphor ‘there is not a one pill that makes everyone happy’. My promise to my clients is that I utilise methods and techniques that have been backed up by scientific evidence.
