I am an AHPRA-registered Provisional Psychologist who is passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults to thrive. I create a warm, safe, and compassionate space where clients feel understood and empowered to make meaningful change.
Being fluent in English, Farsi, Dari, and Southern Kurdish (Kermanshahi), I provide culturally responsive care and work respectfully with clients from both collectivistic and individualistic cultural backgrounds.
I support clients experiencing: depression, anxiety and related difficulties such as separation anxiety, phobias, panic, OCD, and trauma-related concerns (including PTSD), ADHD and autism spectrum disorder (ASD), emotional regulation challenges, grief, loss, and interpersonal difficulties.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in evidence-based practice. I tailor therapy to each client’s age, goals, and unique circumstances. With children, I often combine Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with play-based interventions to help them build emotional awareness, develop coping tools, and express themselves in a safe way. With adolescents and adults, I draw on CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and trauma-informed approaches to address challenges such as anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. Across all age groups, I focus on empowering clients to build resilience, strengthen self-understanding, and take meaningful steps toward positive change.
I have a strong background in psychological assessments for ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and specific learning disorders. I am experienced with tools such as the WISC-V, WIAT-III, and WAIS-IV, and provide clear diagnostic reports with tailored recommendations for home, and school.
My professional background includes roles as a Child Protection Practitioner, Positive Behaviour Support Practitioner, and Behavioural Therapist, giving me extensive experience in child development, trauma-informed care, and behavioural analysis.
