Where to start? If there is anything such as an ideal starting point for therapy, I would say it's curiosity. To wonder about yourself, how have you become who you are? And how does that feel today? My job is to be curious with you, help you explore, notice, feel, point out possible blind spots, for you to can make better informed choices and be a more authentic version of yourself.
Psychodynamic therapy is based on the idea that our early life experiences shape the way we perceive and interact with the world around us. Our mind is sort of wired during early years, our patterns can be so automatic that we are not aware of how some things affect us or how some others could be different. This approach explores these unconscious processes.
I have worked with people in various different settings; people from different countries, cultures, believes and identities. This has broadened my understanding of human experience, and led me to believe every therapy should have an intersectional approach that considers all individual and social factors that affect who we are and the difficulties we face.

Psychodynamic counselling is a talking therapy (that does not mean you have to be good at talking in any way). The best way to go about is to say whatever comes to your mind, whether it seems big, small, irrelevant, silly, smart... and we can work with that.

Free association. We work with whatever comes to mind, whether it seems random, relevant or not, silly, strange, difficult.. The more spontaneous, the better. This is how we make connections and associations to go deeper.
