Psychotherapy Approach

My psychotherapeutic approach is warm, sensitive and empathic. Psychodynamically trained, I work collaboratively with clients, and our sessions are client-led. I assist my clients with an exploration of their particular experiences and challenges, in a way which seeks greater self-understanding, and the possibility of constructive change and growth.

My academic and vocational background is diverse, and includes training in the areas of spirituality and health and fitness. This learning also informs my therapeutic approach, which is integrative of the spiritual, physical, and emotional aspects of human experience.

I work in person or online with clients, on a short-term or long-term basis.

If you would like to get in touch to see if you would like to work with me, you’re very welcome.
