By

I am a Clinical Psychologist and EDT Therapist who aims to maintain a compassionate and mindful focus on my clients’ emotional wellbeing and emotional dynamics, building confidence for clients to have corrective emotional experiences in therapy and in other relationships in their lives. I have a strong interest in how we can improve our practice by learning the lessons from research on psychotherapy process and outcome. I am appreciative of my clients’ strengths, rigorous in exploring clients’ own motivation for change, and I track clients’ symptoms and experience of our work systematically at each session in order to address any difficulties in making progress at the first opportunity should they arise.
