ABOUT ME/BIO

I'm a DHA licensed Clinical Psychologist offering online therapy and assessment through BPS Clinic. I trained psychodynamically in South Africa, and my work draws on Transference-Focused Psychotherapy (TFP) and neuropsychological assessment.

I work with adolescents (14+) and adults, especially where difficulties are complex or overlapping. For example, this might be where neurodiversity, personality and mood interact, where previous diagnoses haven't quite fitted, or where earlier treatment hasn't helped. Rather than rushing to a label, I aim to understand how you work as a whole person, and to shape treatment around that.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU

Therapy with me usually starts with a careful assessment phase, so we build a shared understanding of what's going on before deciding how to work. From there I offer longer-term psychodynamic therapy, including TFP and MBT-informed work. Sessions are online with shared treatment goals.

WHY I AM SPECIALIZED IN THIS FIELD

Training and working in South Africa exposed me to a wide range of complex presentations, often with limited resources. That shaped my interest in difficulties that don't fit neatly into one category. I'm particularly interested in how neurodiversity and personality organisation overlap, and in careful differential diagnosis. I'm training towards TFP certification, I'm in regular clinical supervision, and I work within MDTs as much as possible.

WHAT I SAY TO PEOPLE WHO FEEL NERVOUS OR HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT THERAPY/ASSESSMENT

Feeling nervous about starting is very common, and it's fine to say so in a first session. You don't need to know what to say or have your difficulties neatly explained. The first sessions are about getting to know each other and working out together whether, and how, therapy might be useful. You're welcome to ask me anything about how I work.
