Experience and approach:

My approach to psychotherapy is relational-integrative, which means that I believe the most important part of therapy is our therapeutic relationship, serving as a way of better understanding the relationships in your life and with yourself. I also draw on a range of therapeutic approaches to help give personal meaning to your experience.

 

 

 

At the heart of my practice is psychodynamic psychotherapy, which considers how early relationships can influence present life, such as how we understand ourselves and our relationships with others. I also incorporate Humanistic Psychotherapy, which emphasises what is happening in the 'here-and-now' to help make sense of your experiences.
