For a clearer future
"How can I begin to make sense of everything?"
There are many reasons you might consider seeking the support of a qualified and professional therapist. Here are some common issues you may need help with. We will explore your specific difficulties during your initial consultation.
anxiety - depression - low mood - problems from childhood - abuse - overwhelm - relationship difficulties - anger issues - living with a specific diagnosis such as BPD/EUPD - destructive behaviours - loss/grief - isolation - trauma - panic attacks - withdrawal - stress - parenting issues - low self-esteem - self-harm - addictions - neurodiversity - ADHD
Our responses to life are shaped by our experiences, which can sometimes hold us back. Therapy offers a valuable opportunity to break free from outdated coping mechanisms, encouraging you to explore new possibilities and set healthy boundaries. You don't need to linger on painful memories as there are effective ways to process emotions indirectly, too. By engaging in therapy, you can enhance your relationship with yourself and others while building inner strength and confidence.
Methods of working
Creating a supportive, open, and safe relationship is the foundation of our work together. I utilise various methods that are most suited to your needs. While our primary focus will be on conversation, I may also introduce creative elements when it feels beneficial. These could include imagery, art, nature, sand tray, mindfulness, breathwork and sensorimotor activities.
It's normal to experience complex or varied emotions as we discuss and work through therapy. I will be here to help you navigate and understand these feelings and explore coping.
Integrative approach
I draw on extensive training that has equipped me to study and apply various therapeutic models. My integrative approach highly values your individual experience and perspective of the world. We can facilitate profound change by utilising relational, person-centred, psychodynamic, gestalt, cognitive-behavioural, existential, somatic, and neurobiological practices. I am committed to continuous development staying updated with current research, methods, and practices. Additionally, I can offer support in accessing further services or organisations if needed.
Hopeful futures
Therapy does not aim to fix you or view you as broken. Instead, I support you in overcoming emotional distress and the painful effects of your experiences. The process encourages and empowers you to build resilience, confidence, and self-awareness. As a result, you can develop healthier coping strategies that lead to a more fulfilling life, allowing you to let go of that which no longer serves you.
I will not tell you what to do. Rather, we will work collaboratively to discover solutions to your challenges and find ways to better cope with, tolerate, and improve your feelings in the present.
