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 above 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.

At the heart of my approach is person-centred relational therapy, a humanistic philosophy that values warmth, empathy, and genuine connection. Rather than following a rigid structure, this way of working honours your unique experiences, needs, and personal journey. I work systemically, which means I consider how your relationships, family patterns, culture, and broader social context influence your emotional world. Healing happens in a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood. By offering a non-judgmental, supportive environment, I aim to empower you to explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace, fostering self-awareness, growth, and meaningful change.

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. Relational issues get resolved in relationship, and 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. I will meet you where you are in your current personal development.

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.

Relationship Therapy

Relationships are central to our well-being. They offer space for growth, connection, and healing—while also revealing our deepest vulnerabilities. When challenges arise, they often activate old relational patterns—how we seek closeness, handle conflict, or protect ourselves from pain. While this can create tension, it also opens the door to deeper understanding and repair.

Often it’s when a relationship feels emotionally unsafe or begins to break down that couples seek support. By then, emotional boundaries can blur, making it hard to separate one’s own experience from the other’s. Therapy helps each partner reconnect with themselves, as a foundation for rebuilding the relationship. Unspoken inner conflicts can silently erode trust and intimacy, creating pain for both. As relationships evolve, unspoken dynamics and life transitions may lead to emotional distance or disconnection. Relationship therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and work through these challenges together—with care and curiosity.

In our sessions, we explore communication patterns, unmet needs, and barriers to connection. I create a space where both partners feel heard and supported. I often witness profound shifts when someone shares something long unspoken, while their partner listens with fresh understanding. These moments help reconnect with the younger, more vulnerable parts of ourselves and each other.

I welcome a wide range of relationship constellations, including non-monogamy, polyamory, queer, and gender-diverse partnerships. Sensitivity to cultural, sexual, and relational difference is central to my work. Together, we create space to explore your unique dynamic with openness and care.

Through honest dialogue, deep listening, and practical tools grounded in relational and developmental approaches, we can strengthen your emotional resilience and foster a more fulfilling connection.
