I have a foundational training in integrative therapy with experience in four main therapeutic approaches; CBT, person centred, existential and psychodynamic. In my work, I primarily draw on the psychodynamic approach which is an open-ended, non-directive form of therapy. Our sessions will be led by you and whatever you would like to discuss. You might use the space to explore your early experiences, relationships, past trauma, painful memories, dreams or long-standing relational or emotional difficulties. You can discuss whatever comes to mind. I am interested in understanding all parts of you including the overlapping parts of your identity, your inner thoughts and feelings, family structures, cultural background and the ways in which wider systemic issues impact your experience.

I see therapy as ‘two minds in the room’. In our sessions, I will offer reflections and support and together we will explore and attend to underlying feelings, recurring patterns or inner conflicts that might be holding you back or keeping you stuck. We may also draw links between your past and present or reflect on the ‘here and now’ between us and how this relates to your relationships outside of the therapy room. Therapy can be difficult and challenging at times yet also rewarding. The process may allow you to free up mental space, widen your self-understanding and gradually move toward a more satisfying and enriching way of being and relating.
