Philosophy
Relationships have always been at the heart of my work. In a world that often encourages independence over connection, many of us struggle to build or maintain meaningful relationships; whether romantic, platonic, familial or within community.
My way of working is integrative and client-led, rooted in psychodynamic theory and psychosexual therapy, and incorporates mindfulness and parts work.
Through exploring our relational patterns and tracing early attachment wounds, I believe we can start to integrate parts of ourselves that tend to take over or have become shut off.
Whether there are parts of ourselves we see as bad or unworthy, a sexual self that we hide or don’t know how to express, therapy can help shed light on why it is we experience internal conflicts.
I tend to work in a long-term, open-ended way to allow unconscious material to emerge and integrate.
In therapy, we sit with what is going on and explore it together; interrogating narratives and coping mechanisms, observing the roots of relational patterns, and bringing our unconscious processes into awareness.
