Evidence-Based and Integrative Psychotherapy
My work integrates established, evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), providing structure, skill development, and clear treatment direction when stability is needed.
Therapy is developmentally informed. Emotional patterns, stress responses, and relational dynamics are shaped by earlier experiences. Treatment is paced and responsive to your capacity, integrating structured skill-building with deeper exploration when appropriate.
The focus is not only symptom reduction, but sustainable change — strengthening emotional regulation, relational effectiveness, and day-to-day functioning over time.

Workshops & Training
Trauma-informed, evidence-based workshops focused on stress, emotional regulation, and relationship effectiveness. Grounded in a social work lens that recognizes people within their relational, organizational, and systemic contexts, sessions support clearer communication, steadier emotional responses, and more sustainable working relationships.
Available for organizations, professional groups, and community settings.
A Steady, Calm Space to Talk, Explore and Heal
When life or work feels demanding, the first need is often steadiness.
The work begins with a psychodynamic and relational understanding of the person or system as a whole — who they are, how they have adapted to their environment, and how past and present contexts continue to shape patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaviour. This perspective supports a deeper understanding of the human experience before introducing specific interventions.
From this foundation, evidence-based approaches are integrated intentionally. Mindfulness-based and somatic practices support awareness of internal states, help restore a sense of safety in the body, and improve regulation within the nervous system. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy are used to help identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour, build practical skills, and strengthen emotional regulation.
Attention is given to how individuals function within relationships, roles, and systems — including families, workplaces, teams, and organizations. Interpersonal effectiveness, boundaries, communication, and role expectations are explored with consideration for the broader environments in which people live and work, particularly in high-demand settings where stress can intensify existing patterns.
The aim is not to apply techniques in isolation, but to use them within a thoughtful, person-centred, and context-aware framework that supports stability, understanding, and sustainable change over time.
Making Sense of Patterns and Challenges
Making sense of patterns, symptoms, and experiences so they can be responded to with greater intention and choice.
Once stability is established, therapy offers space to better understand what is happening beneath the surface. Many people seek therapy because anxiety, low mood, emotional overwhelm, or relationship difficulties continue to interfere with daily functioning — even when they are capable, motivated, and high-performing.
This work often involves making sense of common concerns such as anxiety, mood difficulties, trauma-related responses, emotional dysregulation, and long-standing personality patterns that shape how people think, feel, and relate under stress. Rather than reducing experience to labels, the focus is on understanding how these patterns developed, how they are maintained, and how they show up across work, relationships, and life transitions.
Understanding creates choice. It helps people respond more intentionally rather than react automatically, and supports clearer decision-making, healthier boundaries, and more effective relationships.
A Thoughtful, Responsive Approach
Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Some people benefit from structured, skills-based work to build stability and regulation. Others are ready for deeper exploration of long-standing patterns and relational dynamics. Often, treatment moves between both.
Care is responsive to how you are functioning now — building structure when needed, creating space for insight when possible, and always paced to support sustainable change.
The aim is steady growth: strengthening emotional capacity, relational clarity, and resilience over time.
