My work is grounded in psychodynamic principles — an approach that explores how unconscious patterns and early relationships shape how you feel, behave and connect today. I place strong emphasis on experiential emotional work, helping you engage with your inner experience in a way that makes genuine change possible. I also recognise the deeper, spiritual dimension of human life — the part of you that longs to grow, integrate and live more fully as yourself.

We all develop protective strategies to avoid emotional pain. These patterns may once have helped you feel accepted, cope or survive but later in life they can become limiting — withdrawing, self-blame, over-adapting in relationships or disconnecting from your own needs and feelings. Even with insight or previous therapy, shifting these patterns can feel out of reach because they operate automatically and outside awareness.

I help you to see these dynamics clearly — and how they interfere with the life and relationships you want — with honesty and care, so you can let go of what no longer serves you. Together we separate the real feelings at the core of your struggles from the defences and anxiety that keep you stuck, so you can face what’s been avoided and move forward. Then change becomes possible — no longer bound by old protective patterns, you’re free to meet reality as it is.

We’ll always move at a pace that feels safe and manageable. Although the work is deep, it’s carefully contained and tailored to your capacity. I help you monitor and regulate anxiety throughout each session so the process stays focused, effective and not overwhelming.

I offer genuine respect, curiosity and a strong commitment to helping you reach the root of your difficulties — working in a focused, collaborative and emotionally honest way that stays with what matters most. While the work can be challenging, it opens the way to greater freedom, deeper connection and a more grounded relationship with yourself and others.
