My Approach

I am drawn to the integrative approach because I believe that we are all unique and highly complex, so considerable flexibility and variety is necessary, moment by moment, for therapy to be beneficial. I practice psychodynamic, existential and humanistic therapy, and integrate CBT, IFS techniques and Gestalt techniques. I work relationally, cognitively and somatically to help you understand your internal processes and relationship patterns and how these patterns impact on your sense of self, relationships and wellbeing.

The quality of the relationship between you and me is what will ultimately enable real change to take place. I am open-minded, dedicated and curious. I offer understanding, warmth, depth, integrity and creativity. I believe that my humanity and insight are as important as the psychological theory underpinning it all.

About Me

I believe that we are all doing our best to cope with life's circumstances. However, our coping mechanisms can limit our growth as individuals and inhibit our success in relationships with family and in work. Through careful attention and understanding of how these patterns both help and limit, I aim to provide a relationship that allows relief, from pain and distress. This creates possibilities for a fuller and more enriching experience of yourself and all around you.

Therapy can help you see your current situation in a new light, with more depth and clarity. It might be the most important and satisfying journey that you will ever make.

I can help you deal with a parental wound, childhood trauma, existential crisis, relationship problems, difficult endings, grief, stress, anxiety and/or low mood. I also have experience with addiction, eating disorder, attachment, couple, family and sexual difficulties.
