q&a
What do you like to do in your spare time?
You'll often find me in the comfort of my home. I could be watching my long list of TV shows and movies, or playing videogames on my Playstation and Nintendo Switch.
When I'm out, I'm usually hanging out with my wonderful partner and our sausage dog Tobi, at the gym, or visiting friends and family. We love good food and company!
What’s your favourite quote?
"I got my knees done" - White Chicks
Where is your favourite travel destination?
I really enjoyed Japan! The food, the people, the sights and scenes, the Pokemon, ... the food! It is definitely on the list for a return trip in the future.
What does therapy mean to you?
I think it's about firstly understanding why we think, feel, and do the things we do. There is ALWAYS a reason we respond to ourselves or others in a certain way. Having a space to explore these, while you feel really connected and comfortable with your therapist means everything to me.
I think it's also about building and moving towards a life you want to live. For the many individuals and families I see, this has ranged from building happier, more responsive, and intimate relationships, to feeling more comfortable with ourselves and our own independence.
