Therapy with me is collaborative, evidence-based, and deeply personal. You're not a diagnosis or a case file-you're a person I get to know thoroughly. Sessions are focused, practical, and grounded in the most current research on the mental health of high-achievers-the populations most psychology textbooks were never really written about.
We start with a free 20-minute call to understand what's bringing you in and whether working together feels right. No pressure, no commitment-just an honest conversation.
The first 2–3 sessions are about building a complete picture. We'll explore your history, what patterns you've noticed, what's tried-and-failed before, and what you actually need from therapy.
Together, we create a specific plan for what we're working on and how. You'll always understand the "why" behind what we're doing and what to expect.
Sessions are typically 50 minutes. We'll address what's driving your struggle and equip you with concrete tools-grounding techniques, boundary frameworks, nervous system resets-that you can use between sessions.
Every few weeks, we check in on what's working and what isn't. Treatment adjusts as you do. Continuity matters-you'll see the same therapist every time.
Format: Online sessions via secure video call. Available worldwide.
Frequency: Typically weekly, though we can adjust based on your needs and what works for your schedule.
Duration: There's no fixed endpoint. Some people work with me for 6 months, others for longer. We move at your pace and stop when you feel ready.
Approach: I use evidence-based methods with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) at the core, alongside schema-, ACT- and DBT-informed approaches trained as part of my CBT masters, trauma-informed methods, and somatic (body-based) techniques. Everything is tailored to you-not a one-size-fits-all protocol.
What often sits underneath: A lot of my work involves what's driving the presenting problem rather than only the problem itself-developmental trauma, ADHD (diagnosed or long-suspected), and OCD patterns are common underlying threads, particularly in burnout and addiction. If assessment or diagnosis is needed, I'll say so honestly and help you find the right route.
Confidentiality: Everything shared in sessions is confidential. I'm bound by professional ethics and legal requirements to protect your privacy.
