Provisional Psychologist

NEW CLIENTS >>

All our brains are unique, which leads us to experience the world differently from one another. I believe in the power of understanding, embracing, and encouraging our differences, as this allows individuals to thrive and pushes our environments and social expectations to change. 
​
I have a special interest in working with young people with neurodevelopmental differences, particularly people with learning disorders, intellectual disabilities, autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. 
​
Throughout my work, I aim to support the growth and development of young people by offering neuropsychological and psychoeducational assessments to inform educational planning and supporting clients and their families with strategies to optimise well-being and a positive sense of self. When working therapeutically, I work from a non-judgmental approach, drawing upon Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy practices, whilst also utilising clients’ individual strengths.
