My therapeutic approach primarily draws on 4 treatment modalities: Narrative Therapy, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Psychodynamic principles.

In our first few sessions, we'll focus on understanding your story and what you hope to achieve through therapy. Our work will be collaborative and dynamic, with me sharing authentic reflections as you tell me your experiences. During this initial period, we'll establish how to work together comfortably, including ways to make you feel heard and developing signals for when you need to pause during challenging conversations.

We'll work together to identify and examine patterns in your relationships and behaviours, making connections between past and present. We'll explore how family dynamics, cultural background, and societal messages have shaped your relationships with others and yourself. Some sessions may focus on processing deeper emotional experiences, while others might center on practical strategies for managing life's challenges.

If you're struggling with a specific issue, we might work on separating you from the problem itself - seeing it as something external rather than a defining characteristic. We might also use creative visualisation, exploring your inner world as if it were a physical space, or creating mental calm spaces for safety.

A key part of our work will be helping you live in alignment with what matters most to you despite challenges through experiential exercises and optional homework. Most importantly, we'll move at a pace that feels right for you and make time to celebrate along the way.
