Tick

Develop awareness, knowledge and skills to notice, manage and overcome difficulties

Tick

Strengthen your strengths

Tick

Achieve (realistic) goals

Tick

Perform better

My values involve helping and assisting others, being hardworking and dedicated, persistence, being skilful and being highly competent.

Services will be therefore be personalised and selected on the basis of psychological theory, research and goals. A collaborative approach will also be adopted throughout.

Due to my background and training, I am able to flexibly draw on a range of approaches and frameworks (e.g., CBT, IPT, EMDR) to address a diverse range of psychological problems and performance issues. It is hoped that this flexibility fosters collaboration and a goal-approach match, which is in line with the above aims and values.
