Starting this process can feel daunting, and the first step is to meet each other. I warmly welcome adults of all cultural and class backgrounds, and diverse sexuality, relationship and affectional orientations.
I have experience working internationally with a wide range of issues including life transitions, identity, cross-cultural experiences, personal agency, communication, creativity, anxiety, low mood, anger, grief and loss, parenting, and relational difficulties. In addition to the specific issues listed, I enjoy working with anybody who is curious and interested in understanding themselves and their existential situation.
Psychotherapy is a wonderful opportunity to develop relational self-awareness and explore your experience, as well as a tool to engage with difficulty and distress in your life. By helping you to understand and illuminate your feelings and experiences, we begin a process of discovery and awareness. In turn, this process expands the possibilities of how you live, relate, and make choices.
I see each meeting in therapy as an opportunity to co-construct a trusting, respectful, attuned relationship, forming a here-and-now basis to explore your immediate concerns, as well as what emerges along the way. I will collaborate with you to determine where we begin and how the therapy unfolds, respecting your needs and priorities as well as offering my ideas and expertise to increase awareness. I offer a process-based, holistic, embodied perspective, as an alternative to mainstream, normative models of mental health.
With postgraduate qualifications in psychology and psychotherapy, I'm professionally registered in both Australia (PACFA) and the UK(UKCP). This ensures the high standards of my training and means I have agreed to follow ethical codes and standards and to undertake ongoing training, supervision and development.
