I am a Clinical Psychologist born and raised in New Zealand, and now living in the UK. I have been privileged to work across various settings supporting clients with a wide range of challenges, experiences, and backgrounds. In my work, I aim to offer an authentic therapeutic connection alongside evidence-based and tailored psychological therapy to help people navigate challenges and live a life meaningful to them.

Oscar has expertise in supporting people experiencing a range of difficulties, including anxiety, depression, phobias, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), eating disorders, stress and burnout, relationship issues, perfectionism, low self-confidence, and feeling generally stuck or unclear in life.
