Client Types : Adults.
I offer brief and long term therapy for adults experiencing anxiety, anger, grief, low mood, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, the impacts of trauma, and difficulties with alcohol or drug use.
My work is grounded in relational and psychodynamic psychotherapy, exploring how early relationships, life experiences, and the environments we live in shape how we relate to ourselves and others. I have worked extensively with adults in intimate relationships that are eroding their confidence and sense of self, helping them to understand subtle, confusing and repeating relational patterns that are impacting their emotional wellbeing. I support clients to navigate emotions, deepen self understanding, relate to others more authentically, and translate insight into emotional growth.
Approach : My approach draws on relational and psychodynamic psychotherapy, trauma-informed practice, mindfulness-based CBT, and specialised training in addiction treatment. My background informs a practice that recognises emotional and addiction issues as shaped by individual, intergenerational, cultural, and societal factors.
Issues Covered : I support clients with a wide range of concerns, including but not limited to: ADHD, Adoption, Anger Management, Anxiety, Breakup & Divorce, Chronic Pain, Depression, Emotional Instability, Grief & Loss, Identity, Loneliness, Migration, Neurodiversity, Migration, Mind body connection, Panic Attacks, Relationship Issues, Self Esteem, Sexuality and Gender, Social Anxiety, Stress, PTSD & Trauma, Toxic Shame, Transitions & Change, Workplace stress
