I am trained as an integrative therapist in four main therapeutic approaches (psychodynamic, existential, person centred and CBT).

In my work, I primarily draw on the psychodynamic approach which is a non-directive form of therapy that aims to get to the root of experience and create lasting change. 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 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 and present, pay attention to unconscious material and work to identify patterns and themes in your life that might be holding you back.

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. By offering a space to express what often feels 'too shameful' to be spoken about in daily life, unspoken desires, wishes and hopes may surface and find ways of being seen, felt and responded to. As you begin to widen and understand your experience more fully, you may feel a greater sense of ease and self-worth, allowing for you to hold and feel into your life, in new and meaningful ways.
