Ivan is a warm and compassionate psychologist trained in clinical psychology. Ivan recognises that the idea of starting therapy can often feel intimidating and overwhelming for many individuals. As such, Ivan consistently strives to provide a safe and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel able to openly express themselves with confidence and comfort.
Ivan works collaboratively with clients to help them develop greater insight into their experiences, build practical coping strategies, and achieve meaningful, lasting change. Ivan's clinical approach is grounded in trauma-informed, culturally responsive and formulation driven care, where he draws upon a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to each client’s unique needs and circumstances.
Ivan is available on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays, including after hours appointments. Ivan welcomes appointments from individuals aged 18 and over.
