Time to understand yourself
Sometimes you know exactly what’s wrong. Sometimes you just know that ‘something’ isn’t right.
You might be struggling with anxiety, relationships, a difficult period in your life, or patterns that you seem to keep repeating. You might understand what you should do, but still find yourself feeling or behaving in ways you don't fully understand.
Whether you come to me as an individual or as a couple, I’m interested in looking beyond the immediate problem to understand what is really going on.
As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, I combine the warmth and acceptance of person centred therapy with the depth and curiosity of psychodynamic thinking. We can explore the experiences, relationships and patterns that have shaped you, understand why they continue to affect you, and consider what you might want to do differently.
For couples, that means looking beyond who is right or wrong to understand the relationship between you: the patterns you fall into, what each of you brings to them, and why it can be so difficult to break them.
For individuals, it means having somewhere to think honestly and deeply about yourself, without needing to have everything worked out before you arrive.
You don't need to know exactly what's wrong before you start. We can work that out together.
The process
Whether you’re looking for individual therapy or couples therapy, I believe the work is something we build together.
During our initial call, we can talk about what has brought you to therapy, what you hope might change, and what kind of support would be most useful. We can then agree on the practicalities together, including how often we meet, how long our sessions are and whether online or in person work is the right fit.
There’s no need to arrive with everything figured out. Part of the work is discovering what you need as we go.
What matters most is that we create enough consistency, honesty and commitment to give the work a genuine chance to make a difference.
