About Therapy

Therapy is a joint endeavour: we all grow, and change, in connection to others. I will be attentive to everything you have to say without judgement, which can bring relief in itself. Sometimes I will gently challenge you; sometimes the process itself will be challenging. I won’t tell you what you should be feeling or take you through a pre-prescribed plan.

In psychodynamic psychotherapy, we explore your thoughts and feelings, and understand how the past exerts an effect on your present. I may be able to help you observe old patterns you are maintaining that have ceased to be helpful or are causing distress and difficulties in your relationships with others.
