MY APPROACH

I trained in both person-centred and psychodynamic psychotherapy.

Based on some of the foundational tenants of person-centred theory, I do not believe in ‘analysing’ or ‘fixing’ you. This is because I do not believe I can fully know the complexity of who you are. I believe you hold the internal resources that can help you along the way, and I am here to support you in accessing them. Through working together, we slowly learn to relate to the messiness of life’s challenges.

The overarching approach of my work is psychodynamic. This means that, through our work together and the connection that we establish, we may uncover dynamics, patterns or feelings that lie beneath the surface of our awareness. Our unconscious is vast, filled with experiences, habits and beliefs that permeate and shape our lifeworld. Our work together will take shape through collaborative meaning-making which may lead to new insights.

As a registered member of the BACP (MBACP), my practice is overseen by the BACP’s code of ethics to ensure professional counselling standards.
