I work with a wide range of issues / experiences, including:
Depression
Anxiety
Obsessions / Compulsions
Complex / Developmental Trauma Addictions
Life Crises
Suicidal Ideation
Sexual, physical, emotional abuse Grief, bereavement, loss
Issues of race, culture, intersectionality Ecological grief / climate anxiety
I hold an awareness and curiosity of the whole person rather than focus narrowly on pathology.
I work integratively, drawing from transpersonal, psychodynamic, existential and person-centred approaches.
I am a trauma-informed therapist, using body centred and nervous system aware approaches. I integrate Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed interventions into my work: when clients observe, “unblend” from and connect with their “parts” in a “Self” led way it can help free them of their “burdens”. This leads to greater tolerance for, and relaxation of polarisations in the psyche.
I am interested in how issues of intersectionality, race and cultural diversity affect mental wellbeing as well as the psychological impacts of living in the Anthropocene, notably ecological grief and climate anxiety.
I co-facilitate Climate Cafe groups in Oxford where members of the public bring their thoughts and feelings about the climate crisis.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
