Working With Me

Psychodynamically Informed

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a well researched and long-standing form of talking therapy. It involves examining the interactions between our thoughts, feelings and memories of the past.

Experience Your Self

Discover new ways of experiencing yourself, leading to personal growth and a calmer, more balanced approach to life.

Foster Self-Awareness and Distance

Learn to create a healthy separation between yourself and your thoughts or emotions, cultivating clarity and freedom. Reframe emotions and thoughts as experiences happening to you, not defining you, empowering a new way to approach life’s challenges.

Explore Your Inner Experience

Gain deeper self-understanding by observing your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors with neutral curiosity, free from judgment

Examine The Past

Explore how past experiences and memories influence your current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through reflective conversations, gain valuable insights into underlying dynamics that may shape your actions and emotions.

Flexible Approach

Sessions are tailored to your specific needs. Whether you prefer a structured approach or a more open, exploratory environment, we can work together to find what best suits you.

How sessions work?

Flexibility and comfort are essential for effective therapy, so I offer open-ended sessions, allowing you the freedom to conclude at any time.

We might start by talking about specifically what has brought you to counselling. Perhaps you are feeling some anxiety or depressive symptoms? Or maybe there are aspects of your past you would like to unpack and talk about. Wherever you are, I'll meet you there.

"I don't know where to start..."

Everyone is different. Some people come to therapy with lots to say, while others aren't sure where to start. Most of us our somewhere in between. Where ever you are, I'll meet you there with questions and reflections to get us on our way.
