Therapy With Me
Psychotherapy supports you to find a deeper connection with yourself and cope with the challenging parts of living. With time, it can bring greater freedom to live in ways that are more hopeful, meaningful, and aligned with what you want. You might be arriving here completely new to therapy, you might have had positive or negative past experiences of it, or you might be looking for a change.
As a therapist I have an attentive, curious, and warm approach. Our sessions are a supportive environment for you to speak without censoring yourself and I will listen with an open heart and mind. Ultimately I believe you hold the answers—I don't come with a pre-made plan, and actively avoid assigning labels or pathologising what you are experiencing. Instead I'm here to listen, offer an outside perspective on the issues you bring, and support you to get curious about yourself.
My Approach
My approach is ‘psychodynamic’, which means I am interested in how past experiences continue to shape our present realities in surprising ways, and the patterns we each might find ourselves stuck in. This can be revealed through attuning to the ‘unconscious’, which means making space for emotions and memories that sit outside of your conscious awareness, that may until now have been unheard, neglected, buried, or misunderstood.
My practice is also ‘relational’, which means that I see our sessions as collaborative and co-created, and I welcome reflection on any issues that might come up between us. At times we might work in ways that are playful, imaginative, analytic or courageous, which requires that we deepen trust over time.
Finally, I believe it is crucial that you are able to explore your own identity and social context as part of the work, including experiences of ableism, racism, queerphobia, classism, or marginalisation of any kind.
