A Holistic Approach:

With my broad experience as a social worker, complimenting my knowledge of Psychology and training as a therapist, I appreciate the unique nature of each person’s circumstances surrounding their experience of emotion, thoughts and behaviour. Accordingly, I see psychological challenges within the context of peoples broader lives, understanding the interplay between the physical, emotional, social, intellectual, spiritual and environmental.

Community Development:

I have experience working with groups and communities being the Founder and Executive Director of ‘Asha’, a non for profit organisation dedicated to seeing a world where girls and women are free from sexual exploitation (www.ashaglobal.org).
