Practical psychology for kids, teens and adults.

What I can help with

Every plan is built around the person in the room. These are the concerns people most often come in with.

• Anxiety

  Worry that won’t switch off, panic, and the avoidance that slowly shrinks your life.

• Depression and low mood

  Flat, heavy or stuck days that keep stacking up.

• ADHD and focus

  Attention, organization and follow-through, for kids and adults.

• Self-esteem

  Quieting the inner critic and building a steadier sense of who you are.

• Motivation and mental toughness

  Getting unstuck, and performing under pressure in school, sport or work.

• Couples therapy

  Understand and change the negative patterns you fall into so that you can learn to be more flexible, become more responsive to each other’s needs, and reconnect

• Assessments

  Psychological and educational assessments that end in a clear, usable plan.

• Career counselling

  Working out what’s next and how to get there.

I work with children, teens and adults. With younger clients, parents are part of the work.

How it starts

1. Reach out

   Book a free 20-minute consultation online to see whether we’re a good fit, or send an email. Say a little about what’s going on, or nothing at all yet.

2. A first conversation

   The first session is about understanding what’s happening and whether working together feels right.

3. A plan that fits

   I draw on evidence-based approaches like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and exposure work, where you gradually face what you’ve been avoiding. The plan is adapted to you and revisited as things change.

Free tools to use between sessions

Built for this practice, free for anyone. Use them on your own or with someone you’re supporting.
