Experience and approach:

I integrate psychodynamic, relational and person-centred therapy and Internal Family systems.I will meet you with respect and will provide a space in which you can feel seen, heard and validated.When exploring challenges around sex and relationships, I will help you to understand the impact of early relationships, attachment, and other trauma. I will support you in gently unpacking complex relationship dynamics and lovingly meeting the parts of you that feel hurt or ashamed.
