Psychodynamic therapy helps you understand your current feelings and behaviour are shaped by your past experiences, impulses and your unconscious mind. As your therapist, our relationship is critical and works on acceptance and trust. I encourage you to talk freely and openly to help you understand what you're feeling now, why you behave in a certain way and how this affects your relationship. I help you recognise, experience and understand your true, deep-rooted feelings to help you resolve them.

Ultimately, you gain a better insight into your life and the problems you're experiencing here and now. With this new perspective and understanding, you can change negative patterns to help you move forward. Psychodynamic therapy helps with many issues, including anxiety, depression, addiction and eating disorders.

Person-centred therapy is a type of psychotherapy that emphasises your subjective experience and your innate capacity for self-awareness and personal growth.

As you therapist, I focus on your needs and listen to you while providing a conducive environment for you to make decisions independently without judgement. The goal of this practice is personal growth, including increasing self-awareness, self-esteem, and self-acceptance and minimisation of negative feelings such as defences, regret, insecurities and guilt. This leads to improved emotional resilience and more meaningful relationships with others.

Gestalt therapy focuses on the immediate here and now - and how exploring this helps you. It looks at how your past affects and influences your feelings at this moment rather than how you felt back then. Its focus is to raise your immediate awareness of how you are while allowing you to experiment with different response methods.

I help you focus on the present to understand what is happening in your life and how it makes you feel and increase your awareness, freedom and self-direction. Rather than sitting still and talking, I may introduce a couple of exercises such as role play, empty chair, guided imagery or the use of props to help communication and understanding. Engaging in experiential exercises can be a wonderful way to open up and share, especially when it is difficult to find words.

This interactive and feedback driven experience can help with the most issues, including anxiety, low self – esteem, depression and relationship problems.

Attachment therapy explores how childhood experiences impact one's ability to form meaningful bonds as an adult. Attachment-based therapists work with anyone who needs help rebuilding trust in relationships. There are now four different attachment types: secure, avoidant, anxious and disorganised. Without a healthy foundation, we may grow up to become fearful, confused, and insecure.

We may explore your childhood in therapy and discuss your early relationship with your parents or caregiver – the overall family dynamics as you grew up and any significant childhood experiences. You may explore connections between your childhood and adult relationships—how the past may have influenced the present. We may discuss skills to improve relationships, emotions, and behaviours during therapy.

Attachment based therapy can be used to treat anxiety and depression, unsolved childhood trauma and relationship issues.

Inner child work is an approach to recognising and healing a childhood trauma. It recognises that our behaviour as an adult stems from our childhood experiences. Inner child work focuses on addressing our unmet needs by learning how to reparent ourselves.
