How I work
By helping you understand why you do what you do, so you can stop getting in your own way.
A blend of Psychodynamic and Person-Centred Therapy
I offer a space where you can talk openly about what’s happening in your life right now, while also exploring how past experiences may be shaping the way you think, feel, and relate to others today. Sometimes understanding where certain patterns come from can help things make more sense and create lasting change.
Every person is unique, which is why I tailor therapy to your individual needs. Whether you’re looking for support with present-day difficulties, a deeper understanding of your past, or a combination of both, we will work together at a pace that feels comfortable and right for you.
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:
- Building confidence in yourself and your decisions
- Learning to trust your own thoughts, feelings, and instincts
- Finding your voice and expressing your needs more openly
- Feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of who you are
- Developing healthier relationships and boundaries
- Reconnecting with yourself after periods of stress, burnout, or overwhelm
- Feeling more comfortable being yourself
- Growing in confidence, authenticity, and self-understanding
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:
- Understanding recurring patterns in relationships
- Exploring how past experiences may be affecting your life today
- Breaking free from habits, behaviours, or cycles that no longer serve you
- Working through feelings of anxiety, depression, or emotional overwhelm
- Healing from experiences of loss, rejection, or abandonment
- Feeling unseen, unheard, or disconnected from yourself
- Building self-esteem and self-trust
- Developing a deeper understanding of yourself and your needs
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
