How I work

While my training is psychodynamically-informed, I make use of a number of approaches in order to adapt to your personal needs. I strive to create a safe, non-judgemental space for us to work together to explore your thoughts, feelings, behaviours and experiences in order to make sense of them and think creatively about how to manage difficulties, process them and facilitate change.

It is well known that a good predictor of helpful therapy is the quality of the relationship between the client and the therapist. Personally, I believe that counselling works best when it is a collaborative effort between both of us: you are, after all, the expert on your own lived experience. I have worked with individuals facing a wide range of issues and, while it can sometimes be helpful to draw on my clinical experience, I appreciate that everyone’s situation is unique to them. Consequently, I don’t make any assumptions about you or your story.

During our work, we will ensure there is regular space for us to reflect on how we feel therapy is going. I offer a free 20-minute initial consultation via videocall to learn a little about you and explain more about how I work. You can then choose whether you would like to continue meeting with me and what we might think about together.
