My Approach

My work is grounded in a systemic approach, meaning I focus on understanding difficulties within the context of relationships, family life, and wider systems rather than viewing problems as belonging to a single person. I aim to offer a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where people can explore complex thoughts and emotions together. My therapeutic work is collaborative, strengths-based, and evidence-informed, drawing on approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), DBT-informed skills, Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT).

I am passionate about supporting healthy relationships and helping people better understand themselves and one another. I look forward to meeting you.

I have also worked in private practice in Kenya, supporting young people and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
