Therapy with a Roadmap at Your Pace

My way of working is a pathway focusing on healing and change. You may not have the words to express how you feel, you just know you’re not thriving. You struggle to put your needs first. Yet there is a nagging voice asking “what’s wrong with me?” If this resonates with you, you are not alone. We are all a tabula rasa at birth (meaning a clean slate) and past relationships often impact on our current experiences, affecting how we relate with self and others.

I aim to help you develop self-awareness, heal relational wounds and cultivate a stronger sense of self.

This is why I have curated a 5 step approach. I use these steps to help you in untangling negative or traumatic experiences from the past and support you in building a life that strives for growth and change. Some people may stay longer in one phase.

Step 1. The Healing Power of The Therapeutic Relationship. “Bearing witness to your emotional and psychological distress”

I strongly believe that change begins within a secure, empathic and consistent therapeutic relationship. It’s your space to talk about your thoughts and feelings where you feel seen, heard, understood and accepted, so you can begin to explore your inner world without fear of judgement. 

Step 2. Deepening Self-Awareness Through Reflection.  “Knowing yourself”

By engaging in a client-led, psychodynamic process, individuals uncover unconscious patterns rooted in early attachment experiences. Through reflection, they develop insight into how these patterns have shaped their emotions, self-perception and relationships. A process in self-awareness creates space for self-discovery and authenticity in becoming the best version of yourself. 

Step 3. Processing and Integrating your Thoughts, Feelings, Emotions, Beliefs and Values. 

“Finding Meaning and Making Sense of the Present and the Past”

Therapeutic change occurs when individuals can safely process emotions that may have been suppressed or repressed. Through my offer of attunement and insight, individuals are supported to process unresolved grief, shame or loss. Finding meaning in current and past circumstances, leading to emotional healing.

Step 4. Understanding Attachment Relationship Styles. ‘’To thine own self be true”

Revisiting childhood and formative experiences in understanding relationship patterns; resulting in healthier boundaries, improved communication and deeper connections.

Step 5. Strengthening The Core Self and Emotional Resilience. “A person grows in the shelter of another” — Irish Proverb
