CORE SERVICES:
I offer person-centred pluralistic therapy. What does mean in practice? We bring our expertise together — you in your own life, and me in the knowledge and experience I bring to our sessions. I don’t tell you what you should feel or do; instead, I listen, support, and offer perspectives for you to consider, working at your pace in a safe, non-judgmental space.
Pluralism recognises that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Each of us has an ongoing, unique story influenced by self ,family ,culture and society. Together we find what best supports you and tailor what you need to find your way.
Above all therapy is a relationship between two people and as such relies on communication and mutual respect and care. This is what I hope to foster supported by my belief that each person deserves a chance of the best quality of life possible to them.
With a background as a medical doctor with experience in palliative care and geriatrics, I understand the impact of physical illness and disability on emotional and psychological wellbeing and identity and visa versa. I have seen how healing demands addressing the person as a whole, leading me into this new role of offering space and safety to negotiate these hurdles.
At times words may not be enough or even possible. I offer creative therapies such as sand tray and writing as an alternative way of exploration.
