Greetings and welcome,

​

I’m a UK-Chartered Psychologist and a clinical member of the International Mental Health Practitioners of Japan, where I also serve on the board. My work blends nearly two decades of experience in education, counseling, and psychotherapy, supporting people of all ages and backgrounds.

​

I began my academic journey in Ireland, continued postgraduate studies in the UK, Ireland, and the US, and completed my first doctorate on cross-cultural communication before completing my doctorate in Psychology, where my research focused on anxiety-related conditions in Japan. I also completed the Intensive Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy Program at the William Alanson White Institute in New York and am currently a candidate psychoanalyst with The Psychoanalytic Training Institute of the Contemporary Freudian Society in Washington, D.C.

 

Before moving fully into therapy in 2012, I worked extensively in education, including Special Education support and counseling for children and teenagers with emotional challenges, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning difficulties, and school refusal. I developed outreach programs for students facing severe anxiety or attendance issues, helping them achieve high school diplomas. My experience also includes educational and career counseling, working with couples and families, supervising counselors in an international school setting, and conducting risk assessments for suicide and self-harm.

​

Today, my practice offers therapy, psychoanalysis, and assessment for adults, teenagers, and children. I provide psychometric testing for ADHD, autism spectrum, learning disorders, dyslexia, and personality profiling.

 

My areas of focus include:

Psychological evaluation

Depression and anxiety

Cultural adjustment and stress

Trauma and grief

Sexuality, gender identity, and LGBTQ+ support

Couples and family therapy

Special educational needs and school refusal

Career and university guidance

Spirituality and existential concerns

​

My therapeutic approach is integrative, drawing on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), choice theory, and psychodynamic therapy—particularly Klein’s object relations theory and Sullivan’s interpersonal psychoanalytic approach.

 

I work under the professional guidance of New York-licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Ralph Mora {Profile here] and receive regular clinical supervision to ensure the highest standards of care.

 

The heart of my work is expressed in the Latin phrase Temet Nosce—“Know thyself.” I believe that therapy is a process of self-discovery, involving the understanding of your inner world, recognition of your patterns, and the development of skills to face life’s challenges with greater resilience. Because no two people are alike, I tailor each therapeutic plan to the individual, ensuring the approach fits their unique needs, values, and goals.

​

If you’re seeking support for mental health, special needs consultation, or educational guidance, I look forward to meeting you.

 

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.​​
