About my practice

I use a combination of psychodynamic and person-centred approaches, and I often incorporate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) when it is helpful. My focus is on understanding how you relate to and experience life. With my extensive training, I draw on psychological and psychotherapeutic theories and research to help reduce your psychological distress and promote your wellbeing.

In our sessions, I aim to create a genuine, empathic, and trusting space where you can feel safe to share your experiences. I respect your autonomy in choosing what concerns to focus on and the pace at which we work. For me, the therapeutic relationship is built on equality and trust. I strive to offer a safe, confidential environment free from judgement, where I can deeply empathise with your concerns. Research shows that the quality of the relationship between therapist and client is crucial to the effectiveness of therapy.

If you are ready to take the next step, I'm here to support you on your journey. Let's work together to help you find relief and greater understanding.

Our first session

Before our first session, I offer a free twenty-minute introductory phone call to explore how I can support you. During the call, we will discuss your needs and goals, answer any questions, and clarify practical details like fees and availability. It is also an opportunity to ensure we are a good fit. If we decide to work together, we will arrange your first session and discuss next steps.

Our first session is crucial for establishing how we will work together and setting the boundaries of our therapeutic relationship. It is a chance for you to share your expectations of me as your therapist.

This first session is your opportunity to learn more about psychotherapy and ask any questions about my experience and practice. Confidentiality is of utmost importance, and I will clearly explain any limits to it, similar to the confidentiality offered by your doctor.

During this first session, we will also discuss your expectations for our work together, the issues that have brought you to therapy and the changes you are seeking. You will have the opportunity to ask me any questions about how I work, the therapeutic model I use, and we can finalise payment details. This meeting should be a positive experience that helps you determine the best path forward.

EXPERIENCE

Behavior therapy

In behavior therapy, the main focus is on learning's role in developing both normal and abnormal behaviors.

In psychoanalysis, we focus on changing problematic behaviors by understanding the unconscious meanings and motivations behind them.

Cognitive therapy

In cognitive therapy, the focus is on what people think rather than what they do.

Humanistic therapy

Doloress K.

Therapy has really helped me overcome some past trauma I had been keeping under a lid for a long time. Now, I feel happier and more confident in my life, and feel like I can walk with my head held high.

Anthony M.

Coming from a competitive sports background, the injury that ended up making me give up my career was a hard blow. With therapy, I was able to start building my identity around other things than just sport.
