Approach:

Often the people I work with are seeking a more exploratory and reflective therapy process, rather than one that is highly structured or prescriptive.

While I integrate understandings from cognitive, behavioural, and mindfulness-based approaches, my work is primarily informed by a psychodynamic perspective.

From this point of view, psychological difficulty is understood as emerging from patterns and experiences woven through a person’s life. It places value on speaking through one’s experience, giving attention and voice to underlying feelings and concerns.

In sessions, themes and patterns that play out in emotional life, relationships, work, and other areas are explored collaboratively. This process can support the development of a greater capacity to hold difficult experience, and over time, allow deeper understanding to emerge.
