    About Psychologist

    This Hart therapist will work on either individual or couples’ counseling sessions. She likes to build a relationship that is collaborative, flexible, and valuable.

    The relationship between this therapist and couples won’t be founded on a set of preconceived ideas or judgments. She will set out with the couples to fully explore their concerns and needs and respond to them in ways that acknowledge their uniqueness, values, and background. She will draw on her experience, skills, and intuition, as well as their strengths, perspectives, and experiences, to work towards achieving their goals.

    She has conducted research, completed extra training, and has experience working with ADHD and trauma.

    What are three strengths you have as a Psychologist/Counsellor?
    1. Highly committed to clients and passionate about my collaboration with them
    2. Insightful, flexible, reflective and responsive in my clinical approach
    3. Non-judgemental, empathic and curious
    What is the most satisfying and fulfilling part of the work you do?

    Being a counsellor is like having an intricate personal puzzle to piece together – it’s intriguing and challenging and so gratifying when you support people to make sense of the pieces and discover the whole picture.

    What’s an example of a couple you have helped the most?

    I worked with a couple who were struggling to discuss important issues calmly and interact positively with one another’s families. They were caught between two cultures and had to negotiate high-powered jobs and a busy family life. Neither of them felt safe to be vulnerable with one another and address issues relating to grief and loss that had hurt them both in the past. I supported them to think more relationally and engage in “safe talk” so they could listen to one another without interjection or defence, and validate one another without compromising their own values. They rediscovered what they adored about one another and realised just what an incredible team they could be, when they stepped out of their adaptive child modes and into their wise adult ways of being together.
