How I Work: A Blend of Psychodynamic and Person-Centred Therapy
I blend Psychodynamic and Person-Centred therapy to create a space that meets you where you are. Some people come wanting to understand their past; others want support with the present. Most need a mixture of both. My approach adapts to you — not the other way around.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy helps you understand how past experiences shape the way you feel, think, and behave now. It brings long-standing patterns to the surface — the ones you might repeat without realising — so you can see them more clearly and begin to make different choices.
Helpful for:
- Repeating relationship or behaviour patterns
- Long-term low mood, guilt or emptiness
- Unresolved grief or trauma
- Complex family dynamics
Person-Centred Therapy
Person-Centred therapy gives you a space to speak freely, be fully heard, and explore what feels true for you — without pressure or judgement. It’s based on empathy, honesty, and acceptance. Rather than directing you, I work alongside you, helping you reconnect with your own voice, confidence, and sense of self.
Helpful for:
- Exploring identity and belonging (including LGBTQ+ experiences)
- Building self-esteem and self-trust
- Navigating life changes and transitions
- Feeling unseen, unheard, or disconnected from yourself
In our sessions, I don’t follow a rigid structure. Sometimes we’ll look back to understand how the past still echoes in the present. Other times, we’ll focus on what you’re struggling with right now — identity, emotions, relationships, boundaries, or simply finding space to breathe. The aim is always the same: more clarity, more self-understanding, and more ease in your day-to-day life.
What I Can Help With
People come to therapy for many different reasons. I support clients with challenges including:
- Identity and LGBTQI+ experience
- Addiction and recovery
- Anxiety and stress
- Relationship patterns and attachment
- Low self-worth or confidence
- Grief, loss, and life transitions
- Trauma from difficult or disadvantaged beginnings
About Me
I’m a psychotherapist working with clients from all walks of life who want a grounded, human space to understand themselves better. My approach is warm, steady, and collaborative — and shaped by my own experiences of navigating identity, shame, and difficult beginnings.
Before training as a therapist, I worked in community settings supporting people dealing with addiction, identity, and disadvantage. Those experiences shaped the way I show up: with honesty, empathy, and a deep respect for the realities people carry.
I know how hard it can be to reach out. My role is to offer a safe, consistent space where you don’t have to pretend, minimise, or explain everything at once. You get to bring your whole self — messiness included.
