About me and my therapy practice
People seek therapy for many different reasons. I won't attempt to list them all here, but if you're reading this, you might be going through a difficult time, be feeling overwhelmed in some way, or looking to better understand yourself and your experiences. Therapy can offer a space for any, and all of this, including a chance to uncover aspects of experience that may sit outside of your immediate awareness.
My approach is collaborative and integrative, grounded in relational psychodynamic thinking: meaning I understand emotional distress as emerging from our internal worlds, our relationships and the world we live in. Therapy doesn't take place in a vacuum, and I believe all of our experiences are shaped in some way by social context and systemic conditions. I aim to work in a pluralistic and trauma-informed way, remaining open to the different ways people find healing.
Building a strong therapeutic relationship together is a hugely important part of this work. I aim to offer a space characterised by openness, curiosity and creativity, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. It's important for you to get an understanding of how we might work together, and whether this feels right for you. If you are interested, please get in touch to set up a free 15-minute introductory call.
