The unpredictable nature of life can feel overwhelming at the best of times. Our changing internal and external landscapes can be disorientating, and bring us to feel powerless, helpless, and alone. You may feel lost without a clear sense of purpose, or sense of hope. Perhaps you are holding grief, or trauma that you need help processing. Maybe you simply need to feel heard and understood. Whatever the reasons that brought you here, they matter and you do too.
The therapy I offer is an opportunity to be welcomed and received in your truth, without judgment, supported by the safe container I hold for you each week. The journey, however bumpy, is one you won’t have to walk alone. I will be alongside you each step of the way. Together we will question old narratives that no longer serve you, explore your relationship with yourself and others and look at how the meaning you make from each experience impacts your sense of being in the world. Arnold Beisser explains: "change occurs when one becomes what he is, not when he tries to become what he is not.”. It may feel scary at first, but rest assured that together we can co-create a safe space that will support your growth and healing. My theoretical orientation is integrative and relational, tailored to the unique make up and context of the individual. As an integrative therapist, I focus on you rather than me being the expert on yourself, towards the aim of supporting you to reach your full potential. I will help you achieve that by accepting and valuing you, being honest and transparent with you and offering you unconditional positive regard. My holistic approach is underpinned by a variety of recognised theoretical models which include a focus on the here and now, body processes, attachment theory, field theory, alongside a person centred collaborative approach. I maintain the attitude that the therapeutic relationship is what the therapist and client co-create. What this means is that we create the conditions for growth and healing together.
