Meet Dr Bek
Psychologist – Clinical and Forensic; Mediator
A bit about me…
I work with people who want to improve their personal well-being and interactions with others to feel more content and on top of life.
My practical strategies are tailored for clients who describe a feeling of languishing – having a pervasive or acute sense of being discontent or unsatisfied, yet unable to effectively move past it.
I want to help you to find ways to achieve your life goals without feeling you need to compromise your well-being.
