My approach to therapy

who i work with

You're a motivated person who's achieved success in many aspects of your life, yet there's a lingering sense of dissatisfaction, especially in your partner relationships, family dynamics, or parenting. You may have noticed a potential over-reliance on substances like alcohol, or perhaps excessive use of your phone or addictive pastimes that leave you feeling guilt or shame.

​

Your partner might have expressed concerns about the lack of connection and motivation. You might be experiencing difficulties or differences with sex and desire.

​

You’d like to nurture closer bonds with your young or adult offspring, but don’t know where to start.

​

 

HOW THERAPY WORKS

Therapy can provide invaluable support and guidance in your situation. Here's how:

​

Confidential and Non-Judgmental Space: you’ll have a safe and confidential space to express your thoughts and feelings openly. Unlike sharing with family and friends, you don't need to worry about my reactions or burdening me. I’m available to hear and hold whatever you need to bring meaning you can be completely honest without fear of being dismissed or closed down.

​

Navigating Complex Emotions: I will assist you in understanding and managing the complex emotions you're experiencing. I provide a softly structured approach to explore the root causes of your distress. We’ll look at, and understand how the past has influenced the present, helping you identify what you can embrace, let go of, or build upon without the need to lean on coping mechanisms that might be holding you back.

​

Improving Relationships: Our therapeutic relationship acts as a proving ground for you to find your voice, enhance communication, connection, and understanding within your important relationships. You can use your experience with me to focus in on what you’d like differently for yourself, and to gain confidence in being more present and authentic in your relating.

​

Setting and Achieving Goals: Therapy can help you clarify your goals and values. We can explore achievable objectives and I can provide ongoing support as you work towards them.

​

Building Resilience: Therapy can help you build emotional resilience, enabling you to better handle life's challenges and stressors. You'll learn effective coping strategies that don't rely on substances or prioritising your phone over connecting with yourself or those important to you.

​

Speak openly and honestly, no editing or filter necessary! Absolutely it's important to emphasise that in therapy, you don't need to filter your content or language. You can be yourself, and it's completely okay if you like to swear as a way of expressing yourself. I'm here to encourage and support you to express whatever you need to say in whatever way feels most comfortable and genuine for you. Our sessions are a judgment-free zone where your honesty and openness are not only welcomed but highly encouraged.

​

I strongly believe therapy is a sound investment in yourself, and like a ripple, the benefits pass on to your other relationships.
