Practice description
My approach is integrative, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic models to shape the work around you, your history, needs, and goals. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, I aim to help you understand the deeper roots of what鈥檚 causing distress, so that change feels real and lasting.
Therapy with me is an active and collaborative process. I鈥檒l support and guide you throughout, and together we鈥檒l uncover insights, strengthen resilience, and help you move toward the life and relationships you want.
My work is rooted in psychodynamic and attachment-based approaches, exploring how early experiences shape our current patterns of relating and being. I also draw on person-centred principles, working with empathy, warmth, and genuine curiosity. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and valued.
Together, we鈥檒l gently explore old patterns or defences that may once have helped you cope but now hold you back, and we鈥檒l replace them with healthier, more fulfilling ways of living. I regularly revisit your goals with you to ensure our work remains meaningful and aligned with your growth.
I aim to offer a safe, respectful, and collaborative environment where lasting healing and self-understanding can take place.
My first session
I offer a complimentary 15-minute online consultation to discuss your concerns and assess whether we are a good fit for each other.
During our first meeting, we will delve into the issues that have brought you to therapy and explore how it can benefit you.
Together, we will decide whether to move forward with regular sessions. Typically, these sessions are held weekly or every other week at the same time. Each session lasts about 50 to 55 minutes, and maintaining a consistent schedule is an essential part of the therapeutic process.
