My work is compassionate, and in-depth. I work relationally rather than just passively listening. I also work creatively, using imagery, and the connections between our mind, body and emotions. I also staying close to how experience appears within the therapeutic relationship and in the wider context of a person’s life.
Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I attend to underlying patterns, emotional meanings, and ways of relating that continue over time. I have specialised in various approaches to trauma, including a long engagement with intergenerational dynamics, longstanding positions, loyalties and internal conflicts and approach them with care. The aim is to include and integrate, the different parts of our experience allowing for a more authentic sense of self, meaning, purpose and fulfilment to emerge.
I am a senior, internationally experienced psychotherapist working with individuals, couples, and families. My practice integrates systemic family constellations, psychosynthesis, and integrative methods to uncover the unconscious and intergenerational patterns that shape your life. Specialised in working with trauma, relationships, couples and psychosexual issues. I often look into deeper systemic and relational dynamics, and the impact of trauma on our self-connection and identity. I am used to working internationally, and within cross-cultural settings having spent over 20 years working with the international expat community in Geneva. This continues to inform my interest in belonging, difference, and how experience is carried over time.
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.
