​
-
I view therapy as a collaboration between client and therapist. Building this therapeutic relationship is an important part of the process.
-
I focus on listening and responding to you with warmth, realness, empathy, and curiosity.
-
I bring therapeutic specialism, and you bring expertise on your experience. I am here to help facilitate your process!

Create
​​
-
Creativity is a form of communication, and can help explore experiences that can be tricky to put into words.
-
Creative methods can help access and express emotional states.
-
The act of creating can be satisfying and meaningful - facilitating experiences such as relief, accomplishment and discovery.
Person-Centred
Psychodynamic
​
The person-centred approach believes that people have an innate drive and capacity to grow and heal, and, nurturing relationships and environments can support this.
​​
The psychodynamic approach considers how we bring our past experiences to present day relationships and situations, including therapy.
​
I bring an understanding of the role of attachment and neurobiology in human development.
Intersectional
Inclusive
These are my values. I strive to continue learning and increasing my capacity to put them into practice.
I consider how an individual’s experience of society affects them, e.g. gender, class, race, sexuality, religion, disability (etc.). I am reflective about how these show up in the therapeutic relationship.
​
Please let me know if there’s a way I might be able to help you access therapy. This might include, but isn't limited to, needs related to physical accessibility and communication.
