About me and my therapy practice
Starting therapy can feel like a step into the unknown. As we come to understand ourselves better and feel truly heard, it can also be deeply fulfilling.
You may come with a particular concern, be struggling with difficult feelings that don’t have an obvious source, or you may simply want to live more fully. I offer an accepting and exploratory space, in which you can process your feelings and better understand your experience. Together, we can create meaning and elicit real change.
Practice description
Psychotherapy is a mutual transformation; I work to build a collaborative and attuned relationship with you in which we can explore your thoughts, feelings and relationships, past and present. Through this process we can come to a deeper understanding of yourself, the people around you, and your world.
We often push away our pain through minimization or distraction because that's what we were taught to do. Though this response is common, our suffering doesn't vanish—it remains beneath the surface, either waiting for acknowledgment or manifesting as unwanted patterns of thought or behaviour.
Real transformation occurs when we embrace these patterns without judgment, engaging with them rather than fighting against them. I may challenge you at times, but always from a position of deep empathy.
I work integratively, having trained in a number of different approaches, and tailor my approach to each individual. The bedrock of my work comes from contemporary relational psychoanalytic perspectives - in which our relationship is key - and existential phenomenology - which centres you as the expert of your own experience.
