How I work and what to expect.
My story

I started out of my own pain

Years ago I was living with anxiety of my own, and nothing I tried worked. That was when I understood that what actually helps a person is being heard without judgement. That experience changed my direction and I decided to take psychology seriously.
Now, after thirteen years of clinical work, every client is still a particular human being to me, with a story that only they have lived. My job is not to tell you what to do; it is to sit beside you until you reach the answer yourself.

How I work

Four rules I do not bend

Confidentiality, without exception

No name, photograph or detail from your sessions is ever published or repeated.

Evidence-based therapy

Methods with controlled research behind them, not personal preference and anecdote.

No judgement

You will never have to justify your feelings. There is no place here for blame.

Empowerment, not dependence

My aim is to give you the skills so that you no longer need me.
