Psychotherapy
For adults who are ready to understand what is driving them and do something lasting about it.
​
Most people who come to me are functioning. They are managing, often well, but something is harder than it should be. Anxiety that will not quiet. A low mood that keeps returning. Patterns of self-criticism, perfectionism, or impostor syndrome that have stopped being useful. A sense that something shifted and has not shifted back.
Sometimes these patterns have been there for years. Sometimes they emerge during periods of pressure, transition, or loss. Either way, they are telling you something worth understanding.
This is not therapy focused on symptom management or coping strategies alone. It is structured, engaged work aimed at understanding what is actually driving the patterns and changing them at that level. That takes longer than six sessions. It also lasts.
Approach
​​
My work draws on cognitive behavioural, acceptance and commitment, emotionally focused, and dialectical behaviour frameworks alongside developmental and social psychological perspectives. I do not apply these as formulas. I use them as tools, selected and adapted to what the person in front of me actually needs.
​
Sessions are structured, engaged, and practical. We work on patterns while staying connected to the emotional experience underneath them. The goal is not insight alone but the capacity to respond differently, with more flexibility, steadiness, and control.​​​​​​​​​​
