My Approach

When we are going through a difficult time, being able to make sense of our experience, to feel heard and accepted in it, can bring clarity and relief. Therapy can unlock deep insight into ourselves and our struggles, enabling us to heal, grow and envisage new possibilities.

Some emotional states can be difficult. And yet I believe that, if explored in a non-judgmental and caring way, they can release important learning about ourselves. They may point to entrenched ways of being that no longer serve us or beliefs that burden us in some way. Emotional pain can sometimes be a messenger that comes to highlight needs we have neglected or forgotten. In the process of therapy we can consider opportunities for positive change in relation to the difficulties that you’re wishing to explore, as well as anything you may need to heal and release from the past.

What I offer you in this process may vary depending on the stage of therapy and what you uniquely need from the therapeutic work and relationship. I may use questions or share observations that allow you to access deeper layers of awareness, work with you on possible interpretations and meanings, be a safe partner to trial new practices and behaviours with. Ultimately, my aim is to help you get a better sense of the nature and root cause of any difficulties, begin to envisage a resolution and have a caring space from which to work towards the outcome you hope for.

I find that using therapy in this way – to deepen our understanding of ourselves, bring more self-respect and awareness into our feelings, choices and actions – can open up new possibilities that enable us to live and be with others in a more fulfilling and authentic way.
