About me and my therapy practice
Experienced therapist (18 years) offering a safe, confidential and supportive space where you can feel free to explore and express your thoughts and feelings about the difficulties you are facing. My aim is to understand your experience of these difficulties, support you in deepening your understanding of yourself and help you find a way through these difficulties.
Depending on what has brought to to therapy, this might mean making sense of confusing experiences and coming to term with them, identifying unhelpful patterns of behaviour, understanding their function and finding new ways of meeting your needs or generally finding a freer and more peaceful way of experiencing your life.
While most of the work takes place through talking, when appropriate, I can also offer more creative ways of working (art, play, cards…) as it is sometimes difficult to find words that describe our experiences. Sometimes people also like to bring their writings, poems, drawings, music, photos etc… to help them communicate their experience.
My approach is integrative, this means that I am able to draw from different models in order to adapt to your needs. My core model is a combination of person-centered, Psychodynamic, Existentialism and CBT but is also inspired by my experience of psychoanalytic therapy and aspects of art and play therapy, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Bodypsychotherapy and Jungian ideas.
