What to expect

Good therapy is about relationships. I aim to provide a supportive and accepting space for you to talk about your thoughts, feelings and experiences.
​
​I am integratively trained, meaning that I use a synthesis of different viewpoints on the human condition in our work. I focus on three broad approaches:

  1. ​I employ psychodynamic perspectives that help you to bring to consciousness relational patterns and ways of thinking that are connected to past experiences and behaviour.
  2. I work existentially with issues around death, meaning and meaninglessness and personal responsibility.
  3. I employ Jungian insights to bring to awareness and integrate the disavowed and split off "shadow" that often has a role in creating feelings of depression, anxiety and guilt.
​
Much of my work is about bringing to awareness one's mode of being in the world and then helping you find a balance between change and self-acceptance.

​Sometimes supportive and sometimes challenging (and good work is hard, no doubt about it), our work together is based on a connection founded in honesty and respect.

​Our first session is an opportunity to talk about what ails you, for you to ask any questions you may have and to work out whether we're a good fit for each other.

​My approach has helped many people find a way of being in the world with more ease, freedom and contentment than before, providing greater resilience to face life's inevitable painful experiences. I can help you to find a way to face the future with confidence.

​I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live up to what light I have.
