How I can help
Treatment for Anxiety
For the past decade, I've worked as a clinical psychologist with clients who suffer from anxiety. Different evidence-based treatments are available resulting in people enjoying peaceful lives. My therapeutic approach includes mindfulness-based Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), which incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Mindfulness Training.
