My approach

I offer a safe and supportive space where you can talk about your experiences without judgement and at your own pace. Together we will work to understand what brings you to therapy and how we might move toward where you would like to go. In our sessions, this could involve making space to process difficult feelings, wonder about connections between your past and present and identify unhelpful patterns in your life that might be keeping you stuck. Therapy offers space for you to experience your self in relation to another, where reflecting on the ‘here-and-now’ may offer insight into your relationships outside of the therapy room. We may notice unconscious processes operating outside of your awareness including hidden feelings and pressures, enabling you to widen your understanding of yourself and access a sense of freedom in how you would like to move through the world and relate to others.

As an integrative therapist I draw upon psychodynamic, person centred and existential approaches, depending on what best suits your specific needs. I seek to understand all that makes up ‘you’ including the identities you hold, your upbringing and the social and cultural world around you, getting curious about the intersections of power and oppression within identity.
