About the Therapist

About the therapist:

Living with difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences can drain our energy and affect the quality of our lives and relationships. We all need support from time to time, and talking with a therapist in a confidential and supportive setting can help us understand ourselves better and consider what we would like to change in our lives or relationships. I work with individuals, people in relationships (couples/relationship counselling) and people who identify as part of the LGBTQ+ community.

My accepting and thoughtful approach has been particularly supportive to clients looking for support with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, internalised critical messages, feeling stuck, shame and relationship problems.

Sometimes, asking for support can be difficult; I would like to invite you to get in touch, and we can explore together whether I am the right therapist for you. If you'd like to know more, please look at my website or email me, and we can arrange a time to speak.

Experience and approach:

I am a humanistic integrative psychotherapeutic counsellor trained in Transactional Analysis (TA) which also draws on the psychodynamic approach. This means I hold a belief that all people matter and deserve respect and validation. We all have the potential to be authentic and fulfilled human beings. We naturally tend to move towards what we need so long as our environment has been accepting and supportive of who we are and our needs.

Sometimes in our earlier experiences, many of us learn that parts of us or some of our needs are not acceptable to those around us which may result in us being unable to fully accept ourselves or recognise what we need. These experiences shape our personalities and relationships, which can prevent us from being autonomous and spontaneous in the here and now. This can lead to anxiety, depression, relational difficulties, shame, trauma, and other forms of psychological distress as we learn to adapt and ignore what we need.

In a therapeutic relationship where there is acceptance, empathy and trust, we can learn to understand our experiences and improve how we relate to ourselves and others. This can increase our self-awareness and enable us to learn to accept ourselves and our needs (e.g., the need for love and care, respect, rest, excitement, relationships, expression of anger or tears...) and choose to make lasting changes to our lives. As problems often arise from relationships, they are also healed through relationships.
