    ​Engaging in Psychotherapy

    I work with adults seeking a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. My approach goes beyond traditional diagnoses, respecting the unique experiences of each individual. Together, we'll create a reflective space for self-development, leading to:
    • Enhanced self-awareness
    • Improved relationships
    • Symptom relief
    • Personal development

    ​My Collaborative Approach

    As a clinical psychologist and researcher, I value the therapeutic relationship as a key predictor of success. Our sessions are characterized by:
    • Collaboration and curiosity with the aim of fostering insight and self understanding
    • A safe, non-judgmental environment
    • Exploration of emotions and experiences
    • Evidence-informed practice

    ​Psychodynamic Psychotherapy

    ​I offer psychodynamic psychotherapy, an approach ideal for those seeking:
    • A more in-depth exploration of their sense of self (psyche)
    • Long-term, sustainable personal growth
    • Understanding of unconscious patterns and behaviours
    • Resolution of deep-seated issues
    ​This approach is particularly suited for individuals wishing to engage in therapy that aims to foster self-awareness and bring about lasting change.
