I am currently available for daytime and some evening sessions.

It can be beneficial to encourage more creative ways of thinking about problems, exploring alternatives, to the way we see ourselves and the world. As a therapist, I am constantly appraising and adapting the work, exploring the inner life of the client together with them, hand in hand, as it were. Often, to be heard by a non-judgmental witness can be truly transformative.  Powerful changes can be made with the companionship of a caring therapist by a person’s side. This is the basis on which I approach the development of my work and relationship with a client.

Therapy can be a life changing catalyst, helping clients make their journey toward more enriching and fulfilling relationships with themselves, partners, families, colleagues and friends. Sometimes big changes have to be made, other times, just looking at a problem in a different way can help a client move toward a feeling of control and agency. Some clients have grown up not being known by their families at all, no one was all that interested in them when they were kids, and this can mean that more intensive work is occasionally needed. Some clients can be feeling anxious about powerful feelings (such as anger) and this can lead them to think there is something wrong or shameful about them, which, in turn, can lead to the client feeling very alienated in the world. In my work, I seek to contextualise and reintegrate powerful feelings, that have been, long ago, disavowed.  Through the reintegration of these feelings, more of a sense of empowerment can be accomplished and the client can regain a sense of agency and motivation in their lives. Regaining more of a sense of whole self, can then help a person step forward in life, with more confidence and fluidity.
