We can often find ourselves feeling troubled, overwhelmed, out of control, powerless, anxious or depressed. Sometimes the reason for this is clear but often these feelings preoccupy us without us really knowing why. In either case, we can work together to understand your personal circumstances and develop healthier responses and relationships.

It is possible that early childhood experiences, family dynamics or prior traumatic events may be affecting your ability to cope with a current situation. Through talking about your personal history, sense of self, relationships and beliefs, we can gain a new understanding of your experiences, which can allow healthier interactions and emotional responses.

I aim to provide an environment where you are free to express and evaluate your needs in an open, confidential and non judgemental situation, where your concerns can be heard and given time and attention they need.

The type of therapy I offer is psychodynamic which means I would be interested in exploring how your childhood, family dynamics and interpersonal relationships may influence current circumstances. How you manage and react to challenges or issues may not be helpful so we would look to uncover different ways of responding which are based on new personal insights.
