I help my clients understand the hidden patterns and dynamics that influence their lives and relationships. I provide a non-judgmental, confidential space where we can work together to make sense of your story, your challenges and barriers. I am trained psychodynamically, with an interest in exploring your past experiences and how these may be influencing your feelings in the present. My approach is collaborative and authentic, where I aim to create a calm space for you to talk freely. Over time, as we explore and process your thoughts and feelings, I hope for you to move towards greater self-awareness and a more fulfilling life.
I am curious to explore what may be influencing your self-esteem, sense of belonging, sense of identity and relationships. Our conscious and unconscious feelings have a powerful influence over our behaviour. As we untangle your layered experiences, we can also create new paths that support you in navigating life with confidence and purpose.
Our relationship in the therapy room is key to your process for change, highlighting the importance of regular sessions in a safe and confidential space. I understand how challenging this first step is. If you'd like to email or call me, we can arrange an initial 15-minute free phone call, as I respect that this has to feel right for you from the start.
