Starting psychotherapy is a courageous step, and I am deeply aware of the privilege and responsibility that comes with accompanying someone on this journey. People begin psychotherapy for many different reasons, and at different points in their lives. You might decide to seek therapy because you are facing a crisis or a significant life event, such as: - the loss of someone close - an important relationship that is breaking down or under strain (whether with a partner, child, parent, or work colleague) - a major life transition, such as having a baby or changing careers - the need to make an important life decision - emotional symptoms such as panic attacks, anxiety, or depression You may also choose to begin psychotherapy because you would like to understand yourself more deeply — in relation to your life, your relationships, your work, and your values or goals. Psychotherapy takes place within the context of a trusting relationship with a psychologist. Exploring your inner life requires care and attention, particularly as the process can involve confronting painful or challenging aspects of your experience. I aim to provide an environment of respect, safety, acceptance, and compassion, as I believe these conditions are essential for emotional growth and healing. I also respect each person’s right to make their own life decisions and to find their own unique path. Psychotherapy may be short-term or long-term. This is something we will consider together following the initial assessment process. While deeper work on long-standing patterns and relationships often takes time, short-term therapy can also be helpful in relieving symptoms, gaining clarity, and supporting decision-making. In addition to individual psychotherapy, I have extensive experience working with emotional wellbeing in organisational settings. This work has included team-based interventions (such as group therapy, trauma debriefing, and psychological skills training), managerial consultation at both individual and organisational levels, and organisational assessments.
