About me and my practice.
I’m an integrative therapist, which means that I draw from a wide range of experiences, traditions and ideas to inform our work.
I work relationally. This means that, among many factors that can bring about positive and lasting change, I focus on the relationship between therapist and client, and that relationship’s capacity for insight and healing.
I believe that you are the expert in your own life, your own difficulties and what path to take in order to improve. My role is to facilitate you in seeking and achieving your own personal growth, in the way that feels best for you. This is the foundational practice of what is known as Person Centred Therapy.
I think about how your past might be showing up in your present¸ and what that might mean for your life in the here and now. I draw from psychodynamic traditions for this, and in particular Attachment Theory. Attachment Theory is based on observing how we are in relationship to others, how we were in relationships in our past, and so how we can be more fulfilled in our current and future relationships once we notice our own tendencies.
I am committed to non-discriminatory practice and welcome clients of all identities, cultures, faiths, genders and sexualities, as well as those with health conditions and disabilities. My approach seeks to work with the power dynamics in relationships that are shaped by the wider society in which we live.
FAQs
-
Therapy is about being listened to, in an open, safe and nurturing environment. My hope is that therapy allows you to know yourself better, to feel seen and heard in the fullness of what it means to be you. Together, we can try to deepen our understanding of that experience, and process that which might need attention.
