INTEGRATIVE & RELATIONAL psychotherapy
We often seek help when we feel stuck or dissatisfied with life, are experiencing relational issues, in the midst of an existential crisis or a crisis of meaning, or simply need a space to unburden our thoughts and feelings. Embarking on a psychotherapeutic journey means entering into a dialogue with another person, and with oneself. These conversations can help with the aforementioned struggles and more. This process unfolds within the context of a therapeutic relationship that provides warmth and acceptance, along with appropriate levels of challenge.
The process of sharing our emotions in a confidential space can help us make sense of our life and help us to gain greater self-awareness. With self-awareness and a cohesive understanding of our personal story, we can start to re-evaluate our habitual thinking and behaviour, learning to live in ways that feel more authentic. Authenticity, unlike adaptation, brings fulfilment in life; we can begin to respond creatively, rather than habitually, to circumstances and others.
COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY
I offer Integrative & Relational Psychotherapy and Counselling sessions in a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can explore any issues that may feel overwhelming or burdensome. Whether you're seeking short-term or long-term therapy, I provide sessions designed to support clients in times of crisis as well as when dealing with deeply rooted issues. That said, psychotherapeutic work doesn't always need to arise from a crisis: some people seek therapy as a way of self-development, enhancing personal creativity, or exploring deeper life questions, including spiritual ones.
Our emotional lives are deeply relational. Personal well-being depends on a sense of an integrated self, and relationships are what hold that self in wholeness. Relational psychotherapy creates the conditions for a relationship of attuned empathy, in which a more coherent self-experience becomes possible. Throughout our lives, having strong, healthy relationships helps us feel coherent, competent, and loveable. The therapeutic alliance between therapist and client offers a space to experience a meaningful connection, and from this place of trust, we can begin to explore your personal history, current difficulties, wishes, and desires. Successful treatment has more to do with the therapist-client relationship than with any specific technique. Since no two individuals are alike, I do not follow a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Instead, I tailor a treatment plan based on your unique story.
I have experience in both short-term counselling and open-ended integrative and relational psychotherapy. This diverse background allows me to explore different therapeutic approaches with you and tailor the depth of our work to best suit your needs.
In short-term counselling, we would likely focus on one significant issue in your life, with an emphasis on what is currently happening. In longer-term therapy, we would delve into how your past affects your present, uncover any recurring patterns, and explore unconscious processes that may be limiting you. I am particularly interested in the meaning behind your symptoms, conflicts, and dreams. Sometimes, it can be difficult to understand what we are going through, or a significant loss may lead us to reassess our lives, prompting the need for confidential conversations with an impartial person. Psychotherapy offers a space to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, and emotions, providing opportunities for change in how you view yourself and your relationships.
Whatever challenges you’re facing, I’m here to help guide you on your self-healing journey while exploring paths for growth and evolution, helping you achieve a more fulfilled life.I would be happy to meet with you, discuss your needs, and explore whether I can assist you, as well as if you feel comfortable working with me.
