Welcome

Hi I'm Tim, a Registered Psychologist passionate about helping adults (18+) navigate life's ups and downs and manage a wide range of mental health concerns. I have included a list of my main areas of practice below. No matter your background, ability, sexuality, gender, or beliefs, you are welcome, safe, and will receive affirming care here.

​​

​My aim is to make therapy feel approachable and relatable. While our sessions dive into important issues, I believe therapy doesn’t always have to be so serious — sometimes a bit of humor can make the journey a little lighter. Laughter and genuine connection are powerful tools that help the process along.

​​

​Treatment plans are unique to every client. I work collaboratively in an empathetic, supportive and non-judgmental way, primarily drawing on evidence-based therapeutic modalities of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).

​

Prior to becoming a psychologist, I worked as an accountant in a number of organisations from large multinationals to small Not-for-profits. This experience gives me a unique understanding of corporate/ organisational cultures and workplace related stressors.
