In my work, I primarily draw on the psychodynamic approach, which emphasises the relevance of early experience and unconscious processes. Our sessions will be led by you and whatever you would like to discuss. You might use the space to explore your formative experiences, relationships, past trauma, painful memories, dreams or recurring relational or emotional difficulties. Although you will take the lead on what is spoke about, I work relationally and see therapy as ‘two minds in the room’ meaning that I will be present and engaged with you, offering thoughts and reflections.

Together we may begin to draw links between your past experiences and what might be troubling you now, making space for old feelings to be worked through. This could involve uncovering painful narratives or repetitive patterns that might be hold you back or keep you stuck. Therapy offers the chance for you to get a closer sense of who you are, opening up inner space and a greater capacity for choice.
