She is trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centred Therapy, and also draws on psychodynamic theory to deepen understanding of unconscious processes and relational patterns.

The aim to create a space that is both containing and dynamic, where patients feel understood, while also being supported to develop practical strategies, insight, and long-term resilience.
