About me
Psychotherapy, at its heart, is the regular process of one person meeting another, and listening closely to their thoughts and concerns. Thinking, in this sense, is not the same as brooding — that rigid, anxious preoccupation many of us know too well. It means I will pay close attention to what you desire and what you dread. It means noticing when you are behaving passively or inconsistently and giving yourself the time to feel your emotions fully, so that you can respond to them with more care and consideration.
Our work together will help you to think about the feelings you have about yourself and other people: particularly family, friends and colleagues. I will help you to face issues and causes - often from long ago - which may be weighing on you or unknowingly affecting your relationship with yourself and others.
Therapy is sometimes dismissed as a kind of paid-for friendship, but it offers something different. Friendship carries a mutuality — sparing someone's feelings, mirroring them back — that therapy may need to set aside. It is, at the same time, an active process. I can help foster your thinking, but I cannot do it for you; we do that work together. This work comes into its own when you are genuinely trying to work something out — when you feel perplexed about your own mind, or about the people closest to you.
My approach is thoughtful, unhurried, and deeply personal. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, loss, relationship difficulties, or something you find hard to name, therapy offers a space to think freely, feel more fully, and begin to change.
Through our work together, you might find yourself in conversation about the choices you've made, and the vulnerabilities you've quietly avoided. Therapy doesn't simply ease a difficult feeling or symptom — it invites you to look closely at your values, your sense of self, and the assumptions you carry. It asks you to think about your life in a way that few other conversations allow.
