My Approach

Psychological Services

At times of significant emotional stress, life transitions, relationship difficulties, career decisions, and healthy lifestyle management it can be helpful to get perspective from an impartial professional.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT is a widely used evidence-based practice for improving psycho-emotional health. It focuses on identifying and shifting the thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes that keep people stuck in self-defeating patterns and situations.
