About me

My approach to therapy is we work together exploring your experiences � emotions, perceptions, behaviours, body sensations, ideas and memories. We'll look at how you've learned to process these experiences and how they relate to your current situation. This includes understanding how your internal self � your emotional and physical needs � connects to the rest of your world and how this shapes the choices available to you.

My goal is not to interpret your life events. Instead, I want to help you understand their significance to you now and support you in making choices based on that knowledge.

My approach begins with an understanding that we live our lives in relationships. How we make sense of the world is through the relationships and situations we encounter, including the relationship we have with ourselves.

We often learn to build ourselves up to compensate for the pain we've experienced. However, sometimes our ways of dealing with situations become fixed, leading to beliefs about ourselves and others that get in the way of us being seen, understood and pursuing our goals. Also sometimes, we get in our own way, adapting to life's demands without realising it.

I provide a supportive space to explore how you've adapted and become accustomed to responding to people and situations in ways that no longer work for you. Together in partnership, we will look at areas that you bring to therapy and work through them.
