THE ONLY PROMISE LIFE OFFERS IS CHANGE...
Change may at times be challenging... at times devastating...
​
Psychotherapy may assist in adjusting to unexpected life challenges.
Psychotherapy may not be easily described, and people are likely to have different expectations of the process and of their therapist.
There are various types of therapy to facilitate individual and relational well-being. The psychotherapeutic process is unique to each individual and relationship. As such, a timeline cannot be allocated to it from the onset. The process also requires the commitment of those involved. Given the nature of psychotherapy, sessions may at times awaken deep emotional responses, such as sadness, anger, and frustration. In the long term, therapy however has the potential to bring about improved well-being, functioning, and personal growth. However, it is not possible to guarantee how the process may be experienced.

ABOUT ME
I am a psychodynamically-orientated counselling psychologist. Despite my psychodynamic orientation, I apply an integrative approach in response to my client's specific needs.
INTERESTS
I am passionate about the role of attachment, the assurance of safety and security within relationships and how it translates into how individuals feel about themselves and their relationships with others. I believe that relational well-being, and the assurance of trust and security within relationships contributes to individual well-being.
Taking the aforementioned into consideration, I have a particular interest in adult psychotherapy, couples counselling and parent-infant/child psychotherapy.
