Having worked with a variety of people, young and old and in individual, group and couple settings, I have noticed that even though the reasons for seeking therapy in the first place is varied, there seems to be an essence of work that is surrounded around relationships, love, trust and learning to love oneself.
As an EMDR therapist I work with singular traumatic events and complex trauma
My research has been on the experience of recovery from drugs, and my work in therapy revolves around relationships, anxiety, anger, trust, learning to sit with emotions that are experienced as difficult, getting a sense of who you are, who you want to be and how you have arrived at where you are now.
My approach to therapy is existentially/phenomenologically based which means that together we will explore what it means for you to exist in this world, look at and identify fears and anxieties and work together to overcome them. I am here to help you to investigate personal beliefs, values, hopes and dreams and assist you in coming to terms with a past that is carried into the present. On having gained a more thorough understanding I aim to help to build a future that is filled with personal meaning and more clarity when it comes to how you feel and who you are.
We will look at how you have come to find yourself where you are- right now- and to raise awareness to the idea that you are in a constant process of becoming, ever changing, but always in relation. Within the therapeutic encounter we will work together on discovering new ways of relating in the world and to raise awareness to the possibility of change, choice and taking responsibility and explore ways that allow and help you to identify and challenge the difficulties you have experienced.
As a counselling psychologist I am here to help and accompany you on your journey and I believe that within the safe and confidential boundaries of a therapeutic encounter I am able to offer you the opportunity to help raise awareness of what it means to be 'you'.
