My approach

My approach to counselling

Sea

Our one-on-one sessions provide a secure haven where your thoughts and emotions can be explored. Using an integrative approach, I tailor our methods to align with your unique needs, ensuring our collaboration resonates with you.

For couples and families, my focus shifts to systemic therapy, where we untangle relationship dynamics and foster understanding. Through psychodynamic insights, we dive into subconscious patterns, unraveling their influence on your experiences.

Our journey is one of growth and transformation. Together, we navigate the complexities of your emotions, relationships, and personal history, working towards a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

Therapies I
choose to use

Each therapy is a unique avenue towards self-discovery, growth, and healing. Whether you're seeking support as an individual, a couple, or a family, I'm committed to tailoring these approaches to suit your specific needs and aspirations.

Integrative Therapy

Integrative therapy represents a comprehensive approach that draws from diverse therapeutic models to create a bespoke and adaptable treatment strategy. During our collaborative work, I will integrate various techniques and theories to suit your individual requirements. This approach acknowledges that there's no universal solution for mental and emotional well-being. Instead, we'll explore and combine the most valuable aspects of different approaches, ensuring a wide range of concerns can be addressed.

By blending these varied methods, we can tailor our sessions to correspond with your preferences and aspirations. This adaptable method allows us to evolve and modify our strategies as we proceed, guaranteeing you receive the most effective support as you journey towards positive transformation.

Systemic Therapy

Systemic therapy takes a broader view, considering the impact of relationships, environments, and contexts on your well-being. This approach acknowledges that we're all part of complex systems, such as families, workplaces, and communities, which influence our thoughts and behaviours. In our sessions, we'll explore how these systems interact and how they may contribute to your challenges.

By understanding these dynamics, we can uncover patterns, improve communication, and foster healthier relationships. Systemic therapy is particularly effective for couples and families, as it focuses on enhancing connections and resolving conflicts within these interconnected systems.

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy delves into the unconscious mind to explore the fundamental causes of your emotions and behaviours. By analysing past experiences and relationships, we can gain insights into how they shape your present thoughts and actions. This approach highlights the significance of the therapeutic relationship itself – the bond we forge plays a role in your healing journey.

Through introspection and open dialogue, psychodynamic therapy can lead to profound self-awareness, uncovering concealed motivations and facilitating personal growth. Our sessions will provide a secure space for you to process and comprehend your feelings, leading to heightened insight, resolution of inner conflicts, and positive transformation.
