I am a compassionate clinical psychologist who creates a space for my patients to feel comfortable and respected. I approach my patients in a sensitive, warm and non-judgemental manner and tailor my approach to their individual needs. I use a focused and timely approach to help my patients to achieve their goals and improve their wellbeing.
