Individual Therapy

One-to-one work for adults who know the pattern and want to do something other than repeat it.

Therapy with me is an active, collaborative process. I won’t simply sit back and nod; I ask questions, offer reflections, and gently challenge patterns when needed, while ensuring you feel supported and understood. My aim is to create a space where you can explore difficult experiences with curiosity rather than judgment.

My approach draws on psychodynamic therapy, attachment-focused work, and EMDR, with attention to the body and somatic experience as part of the process. Often the emotions, behaviours, and relationship patterns we struggle with today are shaped by earlier experiences that have not yet been fully processed or understood.

In therapy, we explore these patterns while also paying attention to the body. The body often holds important signals about stress, safety, and emotional experience. Learning to notice and understand these signals can help you develop greater awareness of how you respond to challenges and relationships.

For some people, therapy includes practical tools to navigate everyday stress and emotional regulation. For others, it involves working more deeply with experiences that feel stuck, overwhelming, or difficult to understand.

At its core, this work is about developing a more compassionate relationship with yourself, so that your reactions become choices, and the patterns that once felt automatic begin to shift.

Somatic Work in Therapy

Somatic therapy is an approach that brings attention to the body as part of the therapeutic process. Rather than focusing only on thoughts and narratives, somatic work invites us to notice physical sensations, tensions, and patterns that often carry important information about our emotional experience.

Many people find that certain feelings or memories are difficult to access through words alone. The body can hold experiences, particularly traumatic or overwhelming ones, in ways that talk therapy may not always reach. By including the body in our work, we can access deeper layers of experience and support more lasting change.

“I believe I know the only cure, which is to make one’s center of life inside of one’s self, not selfishly or excludingly, but with a kind of unassailable serenity — to decorate one’s inner house so richly that one is content there, glad to welcome anyone who wants to come and stay, but happy all the same when one is inevitably alone.”
— Edith Wharton
