With my approach to therapy, I can help you to:

• Explore the source of your sense of overwhelm and anxiety, build a strong connection to your internal world and discover the resources you need to move forward

• Feel more grounded and less like your emotions are ruling you, using a range of approaches tailored to you, including mindfulness, breath work, depth psychology, energy and somatic work

• Be more confident in your choices and clearer in your decision making by reconnecting to your deep self and discovering a sense of meaning and purpose

• Feel calmer and less stressed as a parent by exploring your behaviour patterns and examining your own childhood

• Find some respite from worry by uncovering the deep sources of negative thought patterns

• Discover, and connect with, your values thereby empowering you to move forward

My Approach

I offer an integrative approach to therapy, meaning that I draw on a variety of techniques and therapeutic interventions that I tailor to your individual needs.  My approach is informed by psychosynthesis, ISTDP, attachment-based and somatic psychotherapy.

The foundation of my approach is in psychosynthesisis.  While acknowledging the pain and difficulties you experience, I hold that something is seeking expression through the problems you bring. What troubles you will become the working material for realising a sense of harmony and fulfilment.  Psychosynthesis recognises that the essence of a person is always alive and intact and can be found even in the depths of suffering.

Increasingly my approach is informed by ISTDP.  ISTDP stands for Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy. It is an experiential methodology, which means the primary focus is on all that is being experienced by client/patient in body and mind, as it occurs in the moment. This means the therapist is active in making observations and encouraging self-observation. ISTDP has been formulated to accelerate the process of therapy. There is a strong focus on anxiety regulation and on tackling the internal obstacles that prevent progress and healing.
