About the Therapist

About the therapist:

Therapy can support you through life transitions, stages or phases. It can develop your sense of growth, change, evolution, self-realisation or any other intention that feels right. It can enable you to discover more about yourself and that can make you feel more whole. Things that can support the process, which might interest you, are noticing and sharing your dreams, journalling, creativity, body work, good sleep and supportive nutrition.

In a society plagued with materialism, superficiality, addiction and emptiness, therapy can offer to enrich and deepen your sense of self and quality of life. Expressing tears, anger and emotion is healthy. Finding the right words to put to unspoken innermost thoughts and feelings can be significant. There's no guarantees and it isn't always comfortable, but with commitment and collaboration something good and better is possible.

Experience and approach:

My approach is integrative and particularly informed by psychodynamic, Jungian, gestalt and transpersonal psychology. These terms might be curious to you or feel less relevant. The key thing is what you want to bring and making time and space for what you want to talk about and explore. If you feel comfortable with me then we might begin a therapy journey and develop a constructive therapeutic relationship that allows your process to unfold.

It might be helpful to know that part of my ongoing professional development is in Jungian Psychology and I also offer twice and three-times-a-week analysis. I have a background working in supportive relationships in organisations for fifteen years and I've been working in placement and private practice settings for eight years. I have experience with LGBTQIA+ community individuals and a range of issues.
