My therapeutic approach draws from existential, relational, psychodynamic and psychoanalytic frameworks. These frameworks look at understanding how our past experiences, relational dynamics, unconscious processes and shared human struggles shape our sense of who we are and how we live our lives. I support patients to explore their emotional experiences, relational patterns, responses to challenging life situations, ways of coping with distress and pathways for growth.

I meet with patients on a regular basis, typically in long term therapy, as this supports the development of a trusted therapeutic relationship and a deeper exploration of a patient’s unique experiences. Initial sessions involve discussing presenting issues and obtaining a detailed history of important events and relationships in the patients life. After this I encourage patient’s to speak freely in sessions and we work together to understand their thoughts, feelings and experiences.

A therapeutic relationship offers a confidential space to discuss personal concerns that may be challenging to talk about. My style of therapy will suit individuals who are seeking an experience of understanding and compassion as well as a space to think about how to live an authentic, meaningful and well nourished life.
