“No one looks at an olive tree and asks why it hides its fruits. It blossoms when it’s ready and under the right conditions.”

― Sadiqua Hamdan

A bit about me…

My name is Valentina, and as a Psychologist, I provide therapy and consultation services to individuals across the lifespan.

I am known for my warm nature, clear communication style, and down to earth approach. I have a genuine care for people and our community, and am proactive in my work. Humour is appreciated and encouraged too!

Using a range of evidence-based techniques, I assist with empowering individuals towards understanding, healing, and to live a life of authenticity.

It is important that you connect with your chosen Psychologist. My approach is client-centered and I practice with this in mind.

That means we work together to achieve your goals.
