About me and my therapy practice
Are you finding difficult to manage challenges on your own? I can help you to find a new perspective and feel safe to speak about your life.
I believe therapy can offer a safe space for self-discovery that provides you with an opportunity to creatively discover how you want to live. I am particularly inclined to listen to how an individual describes their world, as I believe each person experiences life in a unique way that can rarely be communicated to someone else.
As a psychotherapist, I have worked in settings with clients from the most varied backgrounds, who came to therapy for many reasons, including depression, the breakdown of a relationship, grieving, general anxiety and anxiety about specific topics such as their relationships, careers and health. I also focus on the metaphysical meaning of physical illness to improve wellbeing.
As much as family and friends may want to help their loved ones in such a situation, it can be challenging as it can put undue stress on their relationship. I can help you without an agenda that someone from a personal network may have. I will listen and also speak about what I am learning about you, and you decide what resonates with you.
For couples:
My experience working with couples has included the following: emotional and physical intimacy difficulties, separation/divorce - including couples with children, infidelity, infertility, open/E.N.M. relationships, grieving, and excessive use of anger.
I can facilitate a dialogue when communication has broken down, with the aim of re-establishing a common ground to resolve the issue. I appreciate how difficult it may be to open up to a third person and I will endeavour to make this process as comfortable as possible by checking in with both of you throughout our sessions.
Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about my work or to book an appointment. I aim to respond within 24h.
