Hello, my name is Claudia (she/her). I am a Clinical Psychologist and I help women and young people (aged 16–30) to better understand their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. I provide a safe and supportive space to explore challenges, build self-awareness, and work towards improved mental health and wellbeing.
​
The majority of my practice focuses on:
-
mood disorders (e.g., anxiety and depression)
​
My clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. After working together, they typically feel lighter, more grounded, and understood.
More about my work
I place strong emphasis on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where clients feel safe, respected, and truly heard. I connect well with young people and aim to create a space where they can explore their experiences without fear of judgment.
I have a particular interest in anxiety and early life trauma, and I support clients in gently uncovering how early experiences may shape the way they think, feel, and relate to others.
