Provider information
Description
I am a Registered Psychotherapist, with a Master’s in Experimental Psychology and a Master's in Counseling Psychology. Our responses to experiences, and subsequent development of mechanisms to protect against future harms, can have a significant impact on our cognitive, behavioural, and emotional well-being. I provide a safe and judgement-free space for you to explore your past experiences, individual patterns, and goals for the future. Each client is unique, with unique needs, and as such, I aim to tailor the therapeutic process accordingly to ensure your individual needs are met.
