Psychological Therapy

I believe that we are all, by virtue of being human, impacted and shaped by our experiences, our worlds, and our relationships. The impact of these experiences for us, and our creative adjustments in response to them, set the foundation for our sense of ourselves and provide a template for how we navigate our lives, relationships and experiences.

Sometimes our foundations can be shaky, or our adaptations and adjustments (that is, how we have learned to cope) limiting for us or our lives…preventing us from making the changes we want, or having the life we say we want.

My therapy is strongly influenced by Cognitive Analytic Therapy, where the focus is on how our habitual patterns of relating to others, and to ourselves, can restrict our enjoyment of life and keep us feeling stuck.  

I also draw on other integrative psychotherapy models including sensorimotor psychotherapy and evolutionary approaches to provide a supportive frame for the work.

I aim to provide a compassionate, non-judgemental space from which we can explore and better understand these patterns and ‘stuckness’ together; the frame of therapy, and the co-created space we create, then being a place from where change and new possibilities can emerge, alongside an increased sense of choice for ourselves, and within our lives.
