Well Being is a Fragile Balancing Act

We are self-relating beings, an ability that comes with a price. Our private world is hardly ever barren; when we look inside, we are confronted with many voices that are rarely harmonious and are often accompanied by intense emotions, fear, paradoxes, and contradictions. When these are left unattended, a sense of unease creeps in and soon we begin to feel alone, fragmented, confused, saddened, ashamed, and anxious. A confidential therapeutic space offers the opportunity to learn to relate to ourselves with curiosity, openness, and compassion so that we can begin to make sense of our emotional world in the absence of fear and criticism and to live our lives with a sense of direction and purpose.

My clinical training is in Counselling Psychology and Existential Psychotherapy as well as Trauma Related approaches that are informed by advances in neuroscience. For further information regarding Trauma click here. I am also a Level 2 certified Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapist and keen to offer this way of working if of interest (for further information regarding IFS please click here).

My style of working is dialogical and interactive in nature; the aim is to tailor therapy around your individual needs and difficulties. Through dialogue, active engagement, and collaboration, we will assess and examine the issue(s) that concern you in a holistic way taking into account your past experiences, current circumstances, and desires for the future.

The focus of our work will be on your subjective experience, relational and emotional patterns, as well as understanding of human limitations and life paradoxes. Depending on the issues that concern you and your own needs, we will decide the length of our work together as well as its emphasis and focus.
