About me and my therapy practice
Hi, I'm Stephanie. I am an integrative psychotherapist, based in London.
I practice with compassion, curiosity and with a non-judgmental stance. My approach is integrative and is mindfulness-based, whilst combining influences from psychodynamic theory and somatic approaches. There is a key focus on enhancing self-awareness and particularly on building an awareness of the body.
In our sessions, we will work together towards creating a space that feels safe enough to explore your inner world and one that is supportive and non-judgmental. There will be a focus on body awareness, that being, an active stance in noticing sensations and emotions being experienced within the body. We will explore subtle shifts within the autonomic nervous system (ANS), and, begin to notice any repeating emotional and behavioral patterns when relating to self and others.
Sessions will focus on gradually and compassionately cultivating a healthier relationship to self that is more accepting, nurturing and attentive. As a result, a way of being can emerge, inside and outside of sessions, that is more at ease, resilient and psychologically flexible in response to whatever life may bring.
My first session
I understand that approaching therapy for the first time, or even the fifth time, can be a big step, and it can sometimes be confusing knowing who to approach and trust with your emotions. In our sessions, I ensure that the pace and depth of the sessions will match your current needs, and first and foremost, we will build on our therapeutic relationship so that you can feel safely held.I offer an initial phone call free of charge so that we can check in and see if it's the right fit for you.
