Why Psychotherapy?
How I can help
Do you feel stuck? Are you struggling? Would you like to deepen your understanding of yourself and what is important to you? Would you like to feel more confident? Would you like to make choices that better serve you?
I provide a safe nurturing space where you will be seen and heard. I am present, sensitive, intuitive, open-minded and a good listener. We will work together through your issues in an experiential way, and I will offer appropriate techniques to support your personal growth and understanding.
​
I work with you holistically, mind, body, heart and soul. You are at the center of the therapy, and we will explore your relationship with yourself and others.
​
I use creative methods such as dialogue, art, dreams, body wisdom, empty chair therapy and movement to access what is going on for you beneath the surface. These methods bring your subconscious beliefs and patterns into your awareness, to help empower you with more choice in the here and now, and into the future. Focusing on the present we develop your awareness of significant thoughts, emotions and sensations within your body.
​
I respect and value your uniqueness and connectedness with yourself and the world. Our work together will facilitate self-discovery and awareness of your own wisdom and knowing, giving you agency. Such personal exploration helps you to know yourself better, with more clarity and insight. I also support you with insight and skill development as appropriate.
​
The way we work and the pace at which we work will be determined by your needs and choices. The underlying premise of the work believes in your capacity to learn, change and grow. All our work is mutually respectful and confidential.
