About me

Whatever has you arriving here, you will be seen, heard, connected with and validated.

There are likely to be external stressors which are causing you internal conflict. You may currently feel unsure how to cope with what is happening. This can cause self-doubt and worry. Your symptoms may be rooted in how you have learnt to relate within yourself, and with others.

Current and historical relationships and situations can feed into your experiences and the story you tell yourself about you.

It is likely that symptoms such as control, perfectionism, people pleasing, withdrawal and low self-esteem have helped you stay in relationship, yet often at a cost to you. These adaptations can often mean you are accepted, liked and feel good enough, yet you may feel you are being performative rather than authentic.

What is true is that we are born as feeling creatures with a need to be in connection for survival. This means we learn from, and mirror, those around us. If you were taught to suppress, repress or deny feelings, you may have learned to use logic instead. This works for a while, yet eventually it can lead to feelings such as anger, resentment, sadness, disappointment or anxiousness. I call this simply 'backpack full'.

Therapy Style

I am a relational psychotherapist. Together we look at how you are living today and find ways to help you live more authentically, aiding satisfaction, contentment and fulfilment. We promote freedom and choice for you. Together, we 'empty your backpack' so you can live in more harmony within you.
