Approach

My approach is emotion focused, working to help bring awareness to what is happening for you on a somatic (body) level. We will also be exploring your past and how that has shaped you today. My aim is create a safe non-judgemental space where you get to explore your own thoughts and dilemmas, bringing awareness to your feelings and the thoughts that drive them. Registered with the International Council of Integrative Psychotherapists, my therapeutic approach is experiential and incorporates a range of styles and perspectives including Transpersonal Psychology, Family Systems Theory, Person Centered and AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy). If this sounds like the therapeutic approach for you, I would love to help!! If you are interested but it sounds scary that's ok too. I am here to help build a sense of safety for you and we can work together at your pace.

• Anxiety • Self Esteem • Depression • Relationship Difficulties • Trauma • Burnout • Loneliness and more...

Also, see if you relate to any of the questions below...

Do you feel you put the needs of others ahead of your own, feeling overwhelmed, guilty or unable to say no to others?
Maybe it has gotten to the point where you don't even consider yourself, putting everyone else's needs before your own. I can help you to grow in confidence, speak your mind and establish healthy boundaries.

Do you feel anxious and worry a lot?
Perhaps you feel suffocated, or berate yourself and wish life didn't have to be so hard, or maybe worry about what everyone else thinks about you. I can help you understand where all these thoughts and feelings are coming from so you can begin to have more peace in your life.

Do you feel stuck in the same old patterns?
Together, we can figure out why you feel this way, uncover the roots of your struggle and learn how to do things differently.

Do you feel like you need a partner to feel validated and loved?
You might even dread being alone or fear that they might leave you, to the point where you feel like you're losing yourself. With my support, with or without a partner, you can be content or confident in yourself. Does any of the above sound like you? If so and my approach sounds like something you are interested in, I would love to help.
