About me and my therapy practice
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship difficulties, problems with your sexual identity, grief, trauma or a feeling of being stuck? Often the difficulties people face in the present are connected to earlier life experiences. By exploring these connections, we can uncover the deeper meanings behind current struggles. I offer psychotherapy in a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space where together we can work through your struggles towards healing and lasting change
Practice description
My work is grounded in a psychodynamic approach, which means we’ll explore the deeper patterns and past experiences that may be shaping how you feel and relate to others today. In our sessions, you will have the opportunity to reflect on repeating patterns, unresolved conflicts and underlying feelings that may be influencing your daily life.My first session
I offer a free initial phone call to help you decide if I would be a good match for you as your counsellor. Then, if you decide to go ahead, in our first session I will listen to your hopes and expectations of working with me in a psychodynamic way. This is our opportunity to find out more about what it is you need and to agree our ways of working.
