How I Work

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 work integrates trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and somatically informed approaches. 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. I also approach therapy through a relational and anti-oppressive lens, recognizing that our inner worlds are shaped not only by personal history but also by the social and cultural environments we move through.

In our work together, 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 respond to stress and relationships with greater awareness and choice.

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.
