About me
We all feel overwhelmed from time to time.
Psychotherapy is one way of dealing with a specific problem, everyday struggle, or a general sense of unhappiness.
Individual therapy allows us to co-create a unique therapeutic space where we can build trust and enough safety for you to share what is troubling you.
I work relationally which means that I believe that relationships are at the heart of being human and that difficulties we encounter can be understood through how we relate to ourselves and others. Together, we can navigate your internal world and discover how you relate to people. This can lead to different options becoming available to you, more freedom to choose how you want to think, feel and behave.
During our assessment session, we will explore what has brought you here, your hope and expectations for our work and discover what it might feel like to work together.
If we decide to work together, we will spend a few sessions identifying what is important for you, explore feelings, thoughts and behaviours that might be unhelpful in your life and possibly talk about unresolved issues from your past affecting your present, for example bereavement, trauma, depression.
This exploration will allow us to agree on the focus of the work and a number of sessions after which we will review our work together.
