A strong, trusting relationship is, I believe, what makes therapy, therapeutic. Part of my role is to offer the conditions; empathy, acceptance and genuineness which are at the root of cultivating therapeutic alliance. By offering these conditions, I will meet you as a whole person and remain open and curious to what you feel you want to bring to the session. I do not perceive myself as the expert of your life, you are. I will encounter you in the sessions, holding my understanding that you are of inherent worth and value.
I work with a belief that your experience of emotions does not mean that something is ‘wrong’ with you. Rather I accept that some aspects of your life may feel wrong and psychotherapy feels required to facilitate the changes needed, as exploring this alone may feel overwhelming and disorientating.
Using your experiences, emotions and thoughts as guides, we can work in a collaborative and creative way, to understand what aspects of your life feel out of balance and incongruent. In order to navigate to a place which feels more aligned to who you are now. We can work towards an understanding of what it actually ‘feels’ like to live with authenticity.
