A space for sustained reflection
We all have a tendency to recreate experiences we’re already familiar with, even when these lead to pain and confusion. Many of these emotional experiences are established in our early relationships, with parents, caregivers, siblings and grandparents. For this reason, I focus on building a relationship together and exploring what emerges.
My work is grounded in Jungian and psychoanalytic psychotherapy. We attend to unconscious patterns, dreams and aspects of experience that may be difficult to put into words, including feelings or parts of ourselves that have been disowned.
Alongside psychoanalytic psychotherapy, I also recognise that it can be helpful to explore things at a systemic level, which includes thinking about how problems in life can arise from family histories, places of origin and other transpersonal concerns.
My approach focuses on developing your understanding of your inner world, whilst appreciating the reality of the external environment. Each person is unique in the way they experience life, from the stresses of daily life to deep-rooted difficulties. This process takes time and can be demanding, but it offers a real opportunity to feel stronger within.
Areas of clinical experience
My experience includes relational and complex trauma, depression and anxiety, identity, intimacy, attachment, shame, body image and eating disorders. I also work with life transitions, cross-cultural experiences and psychological difficulties connected with physical health.
