Her assessment process is thorough, respectful, and collaborative, providing clear feedback and practical recommendations to support each individual’s needs.

She draws on evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Interpersonal Therapy, and psychodynamic therapy, tailoring her approach to each person.
Her experience spans disability, child and adolescent psychology, and adult mental health, and she works closely with parents, carers, and other professionals to support positive outcomes.
She is committed to providing a supportive and respectful environment where individuals and families can gain clarity, understanding, and confidence moving forward.
