“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.” ― Ben Okri
I have been taught many different schools of therapy throughout my life and studies making my understanding of therapy multi-layered. In choosing which therapy to use for a client, I tend to work intuitively and use the approach that speaks to my client’s specific needs at the time, adapting and changing this as their needs change.
I draw on an eclectic mix of theoretical approaches. Jungian, Psychodynamic, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, trauma therapies and narrative therapies all influence my practice.
Psychotherapy is a rich study and there are many different types of theorists and therapists to choose from to inform your practice. For those with some background in psychology, those I draw upon most are Jung, Bion, Winnicott, Kohut, McWilliams, Hollis, Roberts, Hillman, Mindell and Kernburg.
My former work in body therapies has also deepened my understanding of the way in which our bodies express and store psychological stress. Through the lens of psychoneuroimmunology, one can gain great insight into the roots of pain, anxiety and stress. Working with these messages from the body and emotions provides forms an innate aspect of my work.
I am passionate about the gift of therapy & the process of relationships. I look forward to beginning this journey with you...
