Welcome to my Psychology Clinic. As a compassionate Clinical Psychologist, I help individuals achieve fulfilling lives through evidence-based techniques like CBT, Compassion Mind therapy, Mindfulness Therapy.
I specialize in helping clients struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship issues.
My warm non judgmental way of connecting with clients , and also own experience with overcoming mood issues helps me truly understand what you are going through and make you feel at ease in the therapy process. The aim of therapy is to understand yourself better, to heal and teach you coping strategies such as staying present in the moment or being less negative in the way you view yourself for example.
I offer a free introductory phone consultation.

Mindfulness of breath sounds and body - from MARC UCLA
( kindly for free) this is a simple meditation helping you focus back on sounds surrousnding youa nd your body. It helps also by noticing how sounds just like thoughts constantly change. Thus this makes it often easier to see thoughts as mental events rather than getting hooked on thougts. (Diana Winston)
Mountain Meditation ( John Kabat Zin - from www.freemindfulness.com) This meditation and visualisation helps you by focussing on the positive grounding and unwavering qualities of a mountain. Through various seasons, storms etc staying still, strong and unwavering. Trying to get ourself to embody the same attributes of the mountain through the ever changing world and feelings.
