My Approach
How I Support Change
My approach is grounded, collaborative, and responsive to what you bring. I pay close attention to both your inner world and the practical realities of your day-to-day life. The aim is to create a reflective space where you can slow down, understand yourself more clearly, and develop strategies that genuinely help.
Together, we explore the patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate, while staying focused on the specific difficulties that brought you to therapy. I balance depth with structure so that sessions feel safe, thoughtful, and purposeful.
How I Work
I draw on psychodynamic, interpersonal, and cognitive-behavioural approaches, using what best supports your goals. When helpful, I also include elements of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) to support emotional balance and clarity.
Psychodynamic & Interpersonal Approaches
We explore the emotional patterns and relational experiences that influence how you respond, cope, and connect today. This helps make sense of recurring themes, stuck points, or long-standing internal conflicts.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
We look at the links between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, developing practical tools that bring structure and clarity when things feel overwhelming.
Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT)
A focused approach that examines how relationships, communication, and life transitions affect mood and coping. IPT supports healthier communication, stronger connection, and improved confidence in navigating relationships.
ACT & Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT)
When relevant, these approaches help you build emotional resilience, reduce self-criticism, and reconnect with choices that feel meaningful.
The work is always tailored to you and adapts as your needs evolve.
What Therapy With Me Feels Like
Sessions are steady, thoughtful, and grounded. I offer guidance without taking over, and reflection without losing sight of real-life change.
You can expect:
• space to explore what feels difficult
• help connecting past and present patterns
• strategies you can use between sessions
• a clear sense of direction and progress
Whether your challenges feel recent or long-standing, the aim is to help you understand yourself more deeply and move through life with greater clarity, confidence, and choice.
