Therapy Approach

I work in an integrative and relational way, drawing predominately from psychodynamic perspectives, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), interpersonal neurobiology and attachment-informed approaches. Therapy provides an opportunity for your experiences to be met with curiosity and care, reflecting together on your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships. This can help us to understand how current patterns, at times including those influenced by past experiences, may still have a part in shaping how difficulties are responded to in the present. Some of the patterns we develop may once have been protective or adaptive, though might now be holding us back from more healthy ways of being and relating. Through getting to know the deeper emotions and needs underneath these patterns as well as exploring new ways of caring for and responding to these needs, therapy can support the development of increased self-awareness and self-compassion, emotional flexibility, and a greater sense of choice in how you respond to life’s challenges. Over time, this can help reduce distress while also expanding your capacity to engage in relationships, work, play, and everyday life in ways that feel more meaningful and aligned.

  • Relationship issues (family, romantic, friendships)

  • Burnout

  • Grief and loss

  • Perinatal wellbeing

  • Parenting

  • Tendencies of internalising emotions
