My Approach

My training was in a Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy encompassing many different theoretical approaches. I believe above all in the emerging relationship that occurs in therapy and that meaning and understanding comes through exploring the shared experience. My style is particularly influenced by existential and phenomenological approaches focusing on the nature of the self and how it is shaped and altered in different contexts.

About Me

Having lived in a variety of different countries as a child and adult I came to psychotherapy led by my urge to explore feelings of alienation and belonging. I am particularly interested in how feelings of isolation and estrangement can emerge through culture, relationships and inter-generational family history. In many cases, how we experience the world is shaped by our earliest life experience and exploring this in depth can be an important part of the work. My professional background is in journalism, social research and education and my experiences in these fields have furthered my interest in the many forces shaping our identities. I believe that we all view and experience the world uniquely and psychotherapy offers an opportunity to explore our subjectivity in a non-judgemental way. Through examining our lived experience in depth we can reveal the rational and irrational dimensions of our character as well as our conscious and unconscious motivations. This can give us a firmer sense of identity and meaning.
