Trust builds gradually between client and therapist, encouraging openness.

 

In a supportive therapeutic relationship you can express what is troubling you, and we can think together about your stresses, emotions, behaviours, as well as your inner strengths.

 

We can reflect on past and present patterns, and explore different ways of feeling, being and managing.

 

Sometimes we will be in conversation, sometimes I will simply listen.

​

From time to time we will review our work, aiming towards increased resilience, reduced distress and more satisfying relationships with the people who matter to you.

​

Effectiveness of therapy is influenced by aspects such as your developmental history, your current difficulties and strengths, consistent attendance, and the therapeutic quality of the client-therapist relationship.

 

In case you would like a technical description, my approach has a relational-developmental psychodynamic core, integrated with elements of CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and mindfulness, informed by neuroscience.

Since March 2021, when the Covid-19 pandemic prevented in-person therapy, I have worked online. In my experience this is similarly effective.
