My Approach

My approach emphasizes a humanistic and reflective practice tailored to individuals, couples, groups and professionals' intergenerational, intersectional, developmental and psychological needs. Using a humanistic approach based on the ethnographic encounter in the enabling environment therapy room through dialogue, I integrate psychoanalytical observation, professional supervision, and transactional analysis techniques. This holistic method fosters nuanced insights and evidence-based care, ensuring a supportive and practical therapeutic experience.

Special Interests

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.

By exploring diverse relationship configurations and communication styles across various relationships, including couples and siblings, and by exploring fundamental themes such as freedom, choice, authenticity, and connection, I help partners navigate the complexities of their professional and personal lives together. I recognise the unique cultural and individual narratives each person brings into the relationship, creating an enabling environment that respects and integrates these diverse perspectives. I aim to foster deep, meaningful dialogues that reveal how each partner's challenges impact their relationship towards more authentic, supportive, and fulfilling connections.
Through dialogue, we delve into cultural issues using the lens of ethnographic encounters, exploring the rich landscape of dual heritage and hybridity identities. They were inspired by Jean-Paul Sartre's assertion that "Existence precedes essence," they facilitate awareness and understanding that personal experiences and conscious choices shape their identity. This conversational approach encourages individuals to embrace the fluidity and complexity of their cultural narratives, going beyond societal labels. My goal is to empower clients to navigate the intricacies of their hybrid identities, adopt their unique sense of place or relationships, and foster a deeper understanding of themselves and others.
Exploring coping strategies for managing mental health and psychosocial stresses and challenges. My approach is client-centred, focusing on understanding each individual's unique experiences. Through evidence-based techniques and compassionate dialogue, assisting in identifying stressors, developing resilience, and implementing effective coping mechanisms and post-traumatic growth aim to create a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, build self-awareness, and achieve strategies for mental well-being.
My focus is on addressing work-related difficulties through existential philosophy, guiding diverse individuals toward greater self-awareness and personal meaning, delving into the complexities of existence, and exploring how factors like freedom, responsibility, and isolation intersect with professional life. Understanding clients' unique cultural backgrounds and personal narratives creates a therapeutic space that honours individual struggles and aspirations. Our goal is to facilitate a deeper exploration of how clients find purpose and navigate challenges in work environments, ultimately empowering them to lead more authentic and fulfilling professional lives.
An enhance cultural reflexivity and mutual understanding within the supervision process, mainly focusing on existential thinking to co-create reflective interactions and leveraging autoethnography for integrating personal and professional experiences. My interests include exploring elliptical spaces to uncover nuanced relational ethics/ interactions between individual identity and professional roles and applying ethnographic encounter insights to create culturally and ecologically sensitive supervisory environments. I am passionate about improving cultural reflexivity to ensure supervision is responsive to cross-cultural, intergenerational, and transracial differences, fostering an inclusive and effective supervisory practice.
