About me

As a psychologist passionate about gaming and its community, I find fulfilment working with adults navigating life’s uncertainties. My ideal clients are people who may feel socially isolated or misunderstood due to their unique interests. They might experience mood disruptions or a lack of confidence without knowing why. These individuals seek to find their place in the world, build meaningful connections, and harness their strengths to overcome challenges.

With over a decade of experience, I help individuals discover and use their strengths. I combine ACT, CBT, schema therapy and narrative therapy to create personalised interventions. I believe psychological testing is a powerful tool for self-understanding. My goal is to empower clients, to face challenges with resilience and confidence.

Taking the first step can be daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. I’m here to provide a supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts without judgement. Whether you’re feeling isolated, seeking self-understanding, or aiming to boost your confidence, I’m committed to supporting you. I look forward to connecting with you on this journey.
