Summary

A dedicated clinical psychologist registar with a strong foundation in psychoanalytical theory and evidence-based practices, specialising in the treatment of complex disorders such as OCD, Personality, Dissociative Disorders, mood disorders, and neurodevelopmental conditions. With extensive experience in conducting neuropsychological assessments and developing innovative treatment programs, I bring a rigorous and reflective approach to both clinical practice and academic inquiry. My work is informed by Lacanian and Jungian perspectives, and I have contributed to the field through CPD presentations, peer supervision, and collaborative clinical projects. I am committed to advancing the understanding of psychopathology through research, with a focus on the clinical applications of psychoanalytic concepts and their intersection with contemporary diagnostic methodologies.
