Hi, I am Panda. I know its a strange name. It's a name I chose for myself for its gender neutral undertones and personal symbolic meaning.

In the professional context i am a registered psychologist who practices with an Integrated Framework - all this means is that I do not subscribe to one way of practicing or one way of interacting with my psychological practice. People are complex beings so i believe in a complex approach to working together. I have an Education and Psychology background, having started my career in schools as a psychologist. I have expertise with engaging and working with young people. This continues to be my interest area, however my passion for people has no age restrictions, so always happy to openly discuss what your needs may be. 

On a personal level I am creative, inquisitive, playful and easygoing. What this means for my 'professional self' is that these qualities are present in our interactions. I am excited by authenticity and its importance in building meaningful relationships. I pride myself on genuineness and honesty which I believe helps people build the trust necessary for our therapeutic relationship to be helpful for you.      

Psychological approaches I have received training in and am able to engage in are (in no meaningful order):

  • cognitive behavioural therapy

  • dialectical behavioural therapy

  • narrative therapy

  • play therapy (including art based work)

  • solution focused therapy

  • mindfulness

  • archetypal psychology

  • of interest - research suggests that the therapeutic relationship/alliance alone accounts of a large portion of how effective therapeutic interventions are, not the therapeutic approach(Defining and delivering effective counselling and psychotherapy, Lawrie Moloney, CFCA Paper No. 38 — March 2016)
