My Approach

I believe in a holistic approach to mental wellness. While my core approach is rooted in Carl Rogers’ client-centred therapy, which prioritises empathy, authenticity, and unconditional positive regard, I also draw from the rich insights of existential psychotherapy. Thinkers like Irvin Yalom, Rollo May, and Viktor Frankl inspire me to explore profound questions such as meaning, freedom, isolation, and death. These explorations help us confront our shared human vulnerability and uncover pathways to a more authentic and fulfilling life.
​
I integrate these philosophies with research on vulnerability and shame, encouraging clients to embrace the courage it takes to show up fully, even in the face of uncertainty. Through this lens, we explore how embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connections and personal growth, helping clients to understand and embrace the full spectrum of their feelings. Additionally, psychodynamic perspectives guide me in exploring the unconscious patterns and relational dynamics that influence thoughts, behaviours, and emotions. This integration of approaches allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals. In sessions, this might involve exploring the emotions you find hardest to face, identifying recurring patterns in your relationships, or discovering how your values align with your life choices.

 I believe the heart of therapy lies in the relationship we build. Rather than standing apart as an 'expert,' I see myself as a fellow traveller on your journey. My role is to walk alongside you, holding a light to help illuminate the paths you may not have noticed, revealing both the possibilities and the obstacles. Together, we navigate the twists and turns, exploring your experiences with curiosity and compassion. Through this shared journey, we aim to cultivate emotional resilience, deepen self-awareness, and uncover a sense of meaning that feels authentic to you.
