LIfe can often be difficult, and many external circumstances are beyond our control. Yet the struggles we experience within – how we see and treat ourselves, others and the world – often arise outside of our conscious awareness. These unconscious patterns, feelings, and ways of relating can cause anxiety, depression and disconnection. Within the safe and non-judgemental space of therapy we bring these deeper processes into awareness. Through this journey of self-discovery we come to understand the origins of our suffering and discover new ways of relating that bring more joy, connection and meaning into our life and relationships.
Psychodynamic therapy sees the mind as both the filter and driver of all our experiences. In childhood, inadequate parenting, pain and trauma shaped unconscious patterns of behaviour and survival strategiesthat protected us, but as adults, they can create needless suffering. In therapy we bring these patterns into awareness and explore new ways of being that offer greater freedom and connection.
Your therapy is a profound, personal journey on which I would be honoured to accompany you. I offer a safe, confidential space where you are encouraged to be as honest and open as you are able. With my full support, empathy and curiosity – and without judgement – we will work together towards healing, integration, and the discovery of your authentic self.
