Find balance in life's natural flow
In my therapeutic work, I take a very individual approach to your concerns and therapeutic goals. My methods are based on you as the expert on your own experiences and are adapted to your needs to provide the best possible support throughout your process. I use a collaborative way of working with clients, offering an integrative mix of theoretical models combined in an effective relational framework to accommodate your unique way of being within our therapeutic relationship.
Individual support for mental and emotional challenges or distressing times.
Aspects of how I work at a glance
I support you in coping with stressful situations, strengthening your resources and regaining your emotional well-being. Below is an overview of my main ways of working. Together, we will find the path that suits you.
Therapy, Counselling and Psychotherapy for people over 16 years old
Psychotherapist, counsellor, and therapist are interchangeable terms for someone who supports you in overcoming challenges. They work with you to strengthen your relationships and promote your emotional, physical, and mental health and well-being. Work can be short- or long-term, in person, online, or by phone, depending on your circumstances and what suits your situation.
My framework at its core is Humanistic, person-centred in particular
I believe people have the ability and motivation to grow and change, given the right conditions. I do not occupy the expert role or direct the therapy. I work with you to explore what's bothering you and affecting you here and now. So you can process your thoughts and feelings with me empathetically, respectfully, and in line with each of our values. Without judgement, offering reflections and perspectives to help you move forward in a way that feels comfortable.
A relational approach
We're in this together; our relationship and how we interact, build trust and work with each other is the key to healing. A spirit of learning and collaboration can make all the difference as we share the journey. By exploring your past and your unconscious processes, you can better understand and resolve your current problems and conflicts. We develop strategies together to improve your quality of life, and my life is touched, and I grow in the process.
In-person, online, or phone therapy
I have a comfortable, relaxed therapy room at home, with a warm welcome, where I try to promote safety and trust. Online and phone therapy offers you the opportunity to stay in your familiar surroundings and still receive professional support conveniently and without having to travel far. This will require a quiet, private and confidential space where we can work together without interruptions.
Systemic therapy
I support you in examining problems and conflicts within the context of your social environment and relationships to find solutions tailored to your individual needs. We do not exist in a vacuum. I open-heartedly welcome people of all identities, gender orientations, sexualities, spiritualities, and cultural experiences, recognising that no matter how competent I may be, I always learn from those I work with.
Issues I offer support for
By participating in therapy, you can work through problems and experiences, gain new perspectives and develop acceptance; come to terms with or find ways to cope with or improve, your mental health, experience of loss, bereavement, grief, health conditions, difficulties in work, behaviours and patterns you would like to change, difficulties in relationships with others and yourself. You may be aware of specific issues you want to work through with a trauma-informed practitioner, such as physical, mental, emotional, or sexual abuse, including historical domestic and childhood abuse. We don’t always know what is affecting us and our relationships with others and preventing us from feeling connected; we just know something doesn’t feel right deep inside.
Recognise and accept yourself as you are - with all your facets, strengths and challenges.
I would be happy to accompany you in starting and deepening this process. Write to me or give me a call to take the first step.
