About me and my therapy practice
I offer psychotherapy to individuals and couples.
Individual Therapy
When we sit together, we begin with whatever you would like to share. If you don’t know what to say, we simply begin with that.
You may be going through a crisis, you might need to share your grief or a gnawing sense of existential unease, or perhaps you simply have a desire to get to know your inner world better. It is all welcome.
The work I do helps you uncover and recover your innate wisdom; tend to traumas, heartbreaks, and un-processed life experiences; examine your fears and shame; untangle long-held beliefs; find more meaning; and think about how your past affects the present. In sessions, I will also invite you to explore what is happening in your body when you are experiencing emotion, as the body is a remarkable access point to feelings.
Couples Therapy
For couples, the support I offer is through the Imago model of relationship counselling and coaching. This model aims to move couples from competition to collaboration, from conflict to empathy, and from blaming and shaming to expressing clearly and openly. It does so by encouraging couples to dialogue in a way that brings compassion for one another, acceptance of difference, and an awareness of what sits behind conflict or rupture.
Our work together will foster new ways of seeing and communicating, inspiring you to not only stretch to meet your partner’s needs, but also experience the connection that can come from doing so. It will also teach you to identify needs and learn to name them, resolve frustrations, reduce negative interactions, and cultivate intimacy with your partner.
I am currently offering 6-session blocks of therapy to couples at a discounted rate, while I complete my training in Imago Couples therapy. Places are limited, so please get in touch if you are interested.
