I am a Director and Principal Clinical Psychologist at Align Psychology.
As a clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience in mental health (public and private), I am dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate their unique challenges. My approach is highly collaborative, working alongside clients to foster transformative change and personal growth. I have a special interest and extensive experience working with trauma, including childhood trauma, interpersonal trauma, PTSD and complex PTSD.

I also provide support for those dealing with mood and anxiety disorders such as depression, panic disorder, bipolar disorder, OCD, generalised anxiety; self-esteem; substance use and addictions; personality disorders; stress; grief & loss and anger management. Additionally, I work with couples facing conflicts, striving to rebuild connection, repair and address issues such as attachment and ADHD in relationships. I have also conducted research and I am published in the area of therapeutic interventions for psychosis having investigated the active components of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for psychosis.

I embrace a professional, supportive and collaborative approach, working closely with clients to create safety and a shared understanding to work towards change. I adopt evidence-based practices including:

• Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)

• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

• Schema Therapy

• Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR)

• Gottman Therapy, PACT, and attachment based therapy (couples)
