I am an integrative psychotherapist, informed by a number of therapeutic approaches, refining my practice through years of training and clinical experience. My approach is relational and based upon support, respect, empathy and gentle challenge.
Over time, patterns become established in the way we relate to others, in our thoughts, feelings and behaviours. In this sense, the past can influence the present psychodynamically. Although what has gone before can bring greater understanding, the focus and catalyst for this exploration is always the ‘here and now’ experience that my client wishes to bring. We work together to try and understand your emotional life better, exploring the patterns and ‘coping strategies’ that may be repeated in our daily lives. This brings greater understanding and self-awareness, which can facilitate growth, alleviate distress and lead to meaningful change for the future.
My motivation to train as a psychotherapist was my genuine belief that talking therapy can be transformative. I’ve worked in corporate environments and understand the pressures associated with busy lives, and, as a mum and step-parent myself the challenges of juggling a career and family.
