My approach
My foundation is person-centred and relational. I draw on existential therapy, mindfulness, ACT and other approaches where they are helpful to the individual I’m working with.
You don’t need to understand therapy models, though. I’m interested in you, rather than fitting you into a model.
We might explore the ways you’ve learned to cope, what your experiences have taught you about yourself and other people, and what you genuinely want your life to look like.
A large percentage of my clients struggle with self-esteem related issues, and this is an area of special interest for me. How we relate to ourselves, and what we believe we deserve, can have a huge impact on all aspects of our lives. So I work with my clients on their presenting issues, and often explore self-esteem issues alongside this.
The existential side of my work can be particularly helpful if you’re questioning your direction, identity, relationships or sense of meaning. Therapy can provide space to uncover what matters to you and gradually move towards a life that feels more authentic and aligned with your values.
I believe meaningful change often comes through developing a kinder, deeper understanding of ourselves — not through trying to fix or fight the parts of us that are struggling.
“Go back and take care of yourself. Your body needs you, your perceptions need you, your feeling needs you. The wounded child in you needs you. Your suffering needs you to acknowledge it.”
