Who I Am

A Little About Me

I am an experienced Forensic Psychologist and psychotherapist specialising in supporting young people and adults with mental health difficulties in a variety of settings (including but not limited to within the legal system). I can provide a range of specialist therapies and assessment options and offer a safe, curious and non-judgemental approach. It's important to me that clients feel heard, understood and supported and I work collaboratively with my clients to reach shared goals.

My Treatment Focus

I can provide a range of support for adults, young people, and their families across a number of different settings and in different contexts. I have extensive experience and can use the following approaches:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Trauma Informed Care
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Mindfulness
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Mentalization Based Therapy (MBT)
Motivational Interviewing
Attachment-Based Therapy
Strength-based Therapy
Forensic Treatment or Rehabilitation
Psychoeducation

It may be the case that I will use more than one therapy to address your needs and may blend different approaches together depending on what your needs and preferences are. Ask me which therapies I might recommend for you. Let me know if you’ve had psychotherapy or experience with a psychologist or counsellor before and what you found helpful or not so helpful. These are your sessions supporting your wellbeing, and it's important to give you the experience that will allow us to work towards your goals.

The Practice Approach at Nirvana House

We all go through periods in our life when we feel sad, anxious or stressed. When these feelings start to get in the way of our daily life or impact upon our relationships with the people around we may need some extra support. Knowing how or who to ask for help can be hard, but it’s important that we don’t keep these feeling to ourselves.

We recognise that the past can be really important in trying to understand the present, and the future, and implement a trauma-informed approach into our work .

The experience enables those at Nirvana House to offer effective outpatient, individualized, psychological care. We support those with mental health difficulties, and provide a safe and neutral ground to individuals, families, and couples across the age ranges.
