I believe it is useful for people to come to therapy for many different reasons...

Life is messy and throws us off course. We experience pain, stress and anxiety for many reasons - life events, work issues, grief and loss, relationship difficulties, or feelings of low self-esteem that make us feel stuck or unfulfilled. We may feel adrift, struggling to find meaning in the world and where we fit into it. Confronting and solving problems can be a painful process that many of us avoid. This avoidance can result in greater pain and the inability to flourish both mentally and spiritually. 

Psychotherapy offers a confidential, safe and non-judgemental opportunity to explore past and present difficulties you may have in your life. It is a process of self-discovery and change that can aid us in unlocking painful feelings and unhelpful ways of thinking and being. It helps us shrug off behaviours that no longer serve us, promoting greater self-awareness to enable us to integrate better ones. Our struggles then relax the hold they have over us and we can experience more peace and fulfillment. 

I work as an integrative practitioner which means that I draw from several theories of practice. Integrative psychotherapy considers various causes of human suffering. It brings together current thinking on our emotional, cognitive, behavioural, body-based, and neurobiological capacities. Considering how these are impacted in a bespoke way ensures we work together to discover what will work best for you.

I believe each person is wholly unique and what works for one person may not for another. At the heart of my work is our relationship, a safe, confidential space where we can explore together what you’re going through.
