Practice description
My work is informed by a psychodynamic approach.
Psychodynamic counselling is an active form of therapy without being directive. It looks at relationship dynamics, past experiences, perceptions and unconscious actions to determine the source of emotional turmoil.
Self awareness occurs by exploring both known and unknown aspects of your experiences in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
When self awareness grows, patterns that block potential are identified, understood and addressed and choices made are more informed.
My first session
When seeking counselling you are bound to have a number of questions, thoughts and feelings about the process.
To help you decide if counselling is right for you, I offer at least one initial session where we can explore your needs, reasons for seeking help and what you hope to gain from the experience.
During this time, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions and get a better understanding of the work and me, so you can decide if you’re comfortable to continue.
