My Therapeutic Approach
-
Humanistic Therapy
is all about you as a whole person - not just your struggles.
It’s based on the idea that you already have the inner resources to grow and make positive changes.
In our sessions, the focus is on building a genuine, supportive relationship where you feel truly listened to and understood.
-
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
helps you explore how your past experiences and relationships might be influencing how you feel and behave today.
It can bring awareness to patterns that feel hard to shift - like repeating the same cycles or feeling stuck without knowing why.
Together, we’ll gently look beneath the surface to understand what’s going on and help you move forward with more clarity and self-awareness.
-
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
looks at how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected, and how certain patterns can keep you feeling stuck.
In our work together, I’ll offer supportive techniques to help you gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and reframe them in a more balanced way.
It’s a practical approach that can give you tools to manage day-to-day challenges, while also building confidence and emotional resilience over time.
-
Compassion Focused Therapy
is about learning to treat yourself with the same kindness and understanding you'd offer a friend.
If you're often hard on yourself or struggle with feelings of shame or low self-worth, this approach can help you build a gentler inner voice.
Together, we’ll explore ways to develop more self-compassion, helping you feel safer, more balanced, and more connected to yourself.
-
Mindfulness
is about slowing down and bringing more awareness to the present moment - without judgement.
It can help you feel more grounded, especially when life feels overwhelming or your mind is racing.
In sessions, I may offer simple, practical techniques to help you reconnect with your body, calm your thoughts, and respond to challenges with more clarity and ease.
-
Interpersonal Psychotherapy
focuses on how your relationships - past and present-impact your emotional wellbeing.
It can be especially helpful if you're going through a big life change, a loss, or struggling with communication or connection.
Together, we’ll explore relationship patterns, build awareness, and work on strengthening the way you relate to others and yourself.
