“It is hard to worry when you are focused only on the present moment. Worry is typically
always about the future, and occasionally about the past. It is nearly impossible to be
anxious or worried when your mind is in the here and now.”

My favourite colour is green and
brings to mind images about trees,
bush walking, and rainforests. These
images are refreshing and relaxing.
Green brings me to think about my
favourite tree, the ‘palm tree’, which
reminds us to be open, and flexible to
changes throughout life.
I chose clinical psychology to help
others live and work better. My direct
focus on Selective Mutism in my
clinical practice is tremendously
rewarding, it brings me great joy to
hear my clients’ brave voices and to
see them achieve therapy goals.
I enjoy Motorsport and have
