I see clients and families from all backgrounds, cultures and I am LGBTQI+ friendly. I work with children, teenagers and adults.

Financial Assistance:

Some insurance policies provide subsidies for Clinical Psychology services. Please check with your insurance company prior to engagement with me if you are reliant on their funding. You may require a referral from your GP in this instance.
