As a therapist, I endeavour to provide you with a gentle, reflective space to facilitate a joint exploration of your inner world. One of our innermost needs as humans is to form meaningful emotional connections with others across the lifespan. The ways in which we experience and internalise our relationships with others, in combination with our temperament and proclivities, influence how we develop as a person. Frustrations of our emotional needs result in painful feelings, perceptions, and expectations about ourselves and others, all of which obscure our true selves. My approach, therefore, is to help you develop insight into and work through your emotional experience to connect with your true self.

While I take an integrative approach to therapy as required based on evidence-based practice, I predominantly work from a psychodynamic perspective. Psychodynamic therapy views psychological symptoms and general emotional difficulties as meaningful expressions of our unconscious mind and seeks to make unconscious processes conscious. This is done through having a meaningful and emotionally alive therapeutic relationship in which one’s moment-to-moment experience is processed and understood together with the therapist.

My approach is best suited for individuals who wish to learn deeply about themselves and seek change beyond symptom reduction alone. I welcome people from all walks of life and am more than happy to have a phone conversation to discuss any questions, concerns, or curiosities you may have before booking an initial appointment.
