What most people might not realise is that almost all emotional pain is rooted in some form of distress that is carried in your mind and body. As humans, we are all affected by experiences and whatever isn’t properly resolved is often masked by anxiety, anger, irritability, depression, feeling stuck or chronic relationship issues. Therefore, I adopt a relational approach to therapy that is highly collaborative and mutually respectful, helping clients engage in an integrative mind-body-focused healing experience, in order to build a more cohesive sense of self. I honour the connections I build with each individual client and ensure respect, safety and acceptance.
Each person that comes through the door is an individual and so needs personalised techniques. The most successful results occur when a therapist can draw from many modalities or “tools in their toolkit” so the right approach can be found that will best support each client and their unique needs.
A focus on building long-term emotional strength - not
just short-term symptom relief
Many of my clients tell me I’m “really different” and I think that’s because I build rapport almost instantly. People often say, “You just get me,” even in the first session.
I’ve always had a natural ability to listen deeply, but I’ve also never been afraid to say what needs to be said. I believe deep down, clients already know the truth they’re searching for - but fear, self-doubt, or old patterns keep them from naming it. These repetitive patterns can end up crucifying them emotionally and relationally, keeping them stuck in pain.
My therapeutic approach is strongly Jungian and relational. As Jung observed, we often spend the first half of life building a persona to survive and be accepted, but those same behaviours can hold us back later. The second half of life is an opportunity to recognise and change those unconscious patterns, and begin living in a way that feels more authentic, more whole, and more you.
