Life’s challenges can sometimes feel overwhelming—leading to anxiety, low mood, difficulties in relationships, or a sense of disconnection. I offer a focused, compassionate space to explore these experiences and develop new ways of understanding and responding to them.
My approach is collaborative and emotionally attuned, grounded in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). I also draw from person-centred and humanistic perspectives, with a belief in each person’s innate capacity for growth and healing.
I have received advanced training and supervision in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. This is a person-centred approach that helps people understand and gain greater control over the impact of conflicted thoughts and feelings. If you are interested in exploring how emotions are affecting your day-to-day life and mental health, please contact me.
