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.
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
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
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.
You don’t need to arrive knowing what to say or where to begin. Together, we create a consistent weekly space where your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can unfold at your pace.
- Honesty without judgement
- A space that values your identity and lived experience
- Gentle challenge when something needs attention
- Support in navigating difficult emotions
- Respect for your pace, boundaries, and autonomy
- A grounded, consistent presence each week
