Thank you for reading my profile. I am a licensed clinical psychologist, CBT therapist, and Doctor in Clinical Psychology. I have worked privately and publicly with clients with a wide variety of psychological needs. As a therapist, I work with the idea that both I and the client are experts in the therapy space. You bring knowledge and expertise about your needs and goals, and together we work towards sustainable solutions that address your needs. I offer a safe, shared therapeutic environment with unconditional positive regard, and always aim to adapt the therapy to your needs. I have specialist experience of working psychologically with people with physical or cognitive needs, such as after brain or spinal cord injuries, people with dementia, or other cognitive needs. For me, it is important that therapy is available to everyone.

I have extensive experience in offering therapy for psychological difficulties such as anxiety (including panic disorder, OCD, PTSD, health anxiety), and depression. I am also happy to work with people who may have had an experience that turned the world upside down, but who do not feel that a specific name describes what you are experiencing. It's important to remember that anxiety, depression, anger, and all other emotions are normal reactions in all people - there doesn't have to be a specific name for what you're experiencing. I am also experienced in working with people who are going through a major life change, such as divorce, new job, or adjusting to a new diagnosis, aging, or similar.

I also enjoy working with emotional regulation, adaptation, close relationships, or childhood trauma. In this work, I offer a safe environment where you have the opportunity to explore your experiences at your own pace, on your terms. We can use a variety of different elements, such as meditation and psychological creativity, to enable you to do this. I am trained in meditation and mindfulness as a psychological tool at the Oxford Mindfulness Center - a leading institute for research and the use of meditation and mindfulness in therapy.

I did part of my doctoral training at the John Radcliffe Women's Center in Oxford, Great Britain. I am therefore confident in working with clients who bring experiences related to women's health, including PCOS, Endometriosis, involuntary infertility, PMS/PMDS, as well as psychosexual problems. Alongside this, I like to use my knowledge to work with the problems that are often associated with this, including pain problems, sleep problems, body changes, including a problematic relationship to food, exercise, or the body.

The important thing for me in our work is that you feel that our therapy time is your therapy time, adapted to your needs and how you want the time. You are welcome to get in touch with questions about how this could look for you.
