Experience and approach:

I’m a integrative therapist. This means that I draw on a range of theories and techniques, including:

Psychodynamic psychotherapy. Early relationships affect our thoughts and feelings in our current relationships. By understanding your unconscious patterns, you can make changes in everyday situations.
Person centred therapy. Putting you in the driving seat for therapy, sessions are led by what you want to work on. I provide empathy, compassion and genuineness to support you.

I also incorporate aspects of relational therapy, somatic therapy, attachment theory and CBT. We live in a world where intersectional oppressions exist, on the grounds of race, gender, class, sexuality, religion and many more. These can have a serious impact on our mental health. The therapy relationship is no exception. I am open to exploration of any aspects of identity and difference at any point during our work together.

Approaches:

Attachment theory (Psychodynamic)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Humanistic
Person-Centred
Psychodynamic
Relational
