I provide face to face, telehealth (phone or zoom) and outreach sessions. To read more about me click here.

My therapeutic approach to provide evidence-based interventions that are tailored to the individual and their circumstances. My practice uses a multimodal approach, combining formal theories with evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behaviour therapy, behaviour change techniques, systems theory, attachment theory, trauma theory and narrative therapy. I also rely on strategies such as client-focused, solution-focused and strength-based approaches.

I provide responses that are developmentally appropriate, including working with clients diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit and Hyperactivity Disorder and intellectual disabilities.

Mental health

I am experienced in supporting people who are impacted by their mental health. This includes those who experience anxiety and depression and those that are diagnosed with psychosis, schizophrenia, and borderline personality disorder. I also help people manage and reduce the risk of self-harm and assist those experiencing suicide ideation.  

Problem behaviour

My particular expertise is in the assessment and treatment of sexual behaviour issues. This includes problematic risk-taking sexual behaviour, children and young people with harmful sexual behaviours, adults who experience paraphilias and those who have committed a sexual offence. I also provide evidence-based responses to those who have perpetrated violence.
