About Me & How I Work
I work with adult individuals (including young adults and older adults) on a short or longer term basis - drawing on different therapeutic models and perspectives with each person, while holding a soulful frame for our work.
I offer a reflective and respectful space for clients to bring what needs to be felt and witnessed. I will notice what happens in the room between us, what may be held in the body and include ways of making conscious what might need to be felt from the past that is causing difficulty in the present.
I work with a broad range of concerns - from loss and bereavement, anxiety and depression, to relationship issues, shame, identity, sexuality and more generalised feelings of stuckness, loneliness or disquiet.
I have a particular interest in trauma and addiction and the lasting impact of addiction in families. Also in the challenges and potentials of transitional times in life (quarter life, midlife and later life for example.)
Allowing space for soul in the room can bring in questions of meaning and allow for moments of meeting where you can come to know yourself and what matters to you more deeply.
“If we could allow the pace of our meetings to slow down to the pace of our hearts, we might find genuine understanding.” - Marion Woodman
We cannot know at the outset what the journey will bring - my aim is to accompany you on a journey towards a sustainable change in your relationship to yourself and what has happened to bring you to therapy.
