My approach
Healing happens in connection.I work from an AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) perspective, a relational, attachment-based and experiential approach.Together, we explore your emotional experiences, understand protective patterns and create space for new experiences of safety, connection and self-acceptance.Therapy isn't about fixing you or changing who you are. It's about helping you feel more connected, secure and at home within yourself.Rather than focusing only on understanding what has happened, we also pay attention to what you experience in the present moment, including emotions, thoughts, bodily experiences and the ways you have learnt to protect yourself.Together, we explore these experiences with curiosity, compassion and care, creating opportunities for new emotional experiences that can gradually transform how you relate to yourself and others.You deserve a place where what you carry is understood and
gently worked through.
