Working Together

My therapeutic approach is best described as ‘integrative’ and ‘relational’, my priority is in creating a safe therapeutic environment so you can explore aspects of your life that are challenging. Together we are co-creating an environment of trust, collaboration, and mutual respect in order to promote self-reflection, insight, awareness, healing, and growth.

I bring warmth, and compassion to my work, through presence, acceptance, empathy, and understanding; always actively listening to what you say and don’t say and facilitating you in becoming more conscious of the ways you are thinking feeling and being. I work from a position that you are the expert and I will support you in discovering a more authentic and integrated self.

Sometimes our internal world and external reality conflict with one another causing us great distress, therapy offers you a space to explore your emerging self, the parts of you that have been disowned, fragmented, or disallowed. I am interested in how the self is impacted by early relational experiences and develops over the lifespan.

As we are all born and develop within a relational context – “the family” it seems important to explore significant interpersonal relationships and ways of relating so that you can gain a better understanding of how this has shaped your Identity, values, beliefs, and patterns of behaviour. 

I believe that we all have the capacity to transcend and survive our early experiences, the quality of the therapeutic relationship is central to the process of change.
