As a Psychologist, I am deeply committed to a person-centred approach, working collaboratively with my clients and valuing them as the experts in their own lives. I am passionate about working with children, young people and adults, aged 8 to 35, and strive to advocate for their needs and well-being.
Alongside my passion for psychology, I paint, read and ride horses, and drink Earl Grey tea. I recharge in nature at every opportunity and enjoy a good beachside market.
