His warm, engaging and collaborative approach draws on evidence-based therapies, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Schema Therapy, including Mindfulness techniques, with a strong emphasis on each client’s unique strengths and values. He believes in creating a supportive space where clients can feel heard and understood, can acquire skills to meet their needs and feel empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.

He works collaboratively with clients in fostering authenticity, strengthening self-advocacy skills, and building sustainable strategies for maintaining psychological wellbeing.
