Most people consider psychotherapy because they are in crisis and seek an intervention that will improve their lives. The issue may involve work or the recognition of recurring, destructive themes that prevent them from living out their dreams. I use a framework called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, originating from Diana Fosha. It uses a model of attachment to establish a clear, supportive relationship that helps people feel safe enough to explore deeper issues and to know that they are not alone. I aim to help them reach inside themselves to deal with painful feelings, make way for the resilience and wisdom that reside in each of us and find the transformation we seek.

My psychotherapy approach is very individualized and considers each client as unique. I aim to cultivate a non-judgemental and respectful collaborative relationship. I emphasize client strengths and goal setting to ensure the therapy is useful and approaching whatever goals clients are aiming for. Benefits of this psychotherapy approach include experiencing a sense of lightness in daily living, feeling equipped to cope with life's challenges, feeling confident and empowered, and having an overall sense of wellness.

Meeting with a psychotherapist has one primary aim: to share ways of improving and sustaining one's mental health and wellbeing. It may include revisiting past experiences that were impactful; practicing skills and techniques in the present; or talking about ideas and strategies to use in the future. Sometimes, psychotherapy involves having an in-the-moment experience that brings about a profound change of perspective or a new emotional truth. Whichever direction your own psychotherapy takes, we know that the single biggest contributor to a positive counselling experience is your relationship with your therapist. I can help you find the best path forward for you. Reach out today to begin.

A psychodynamic approach to counselling focuses on patterns of relationship, often helpful in understanding how early experiences might be affecting you in the present.

There are many things which cause us distress and prevent us from achieving our preferred quality of life. These can include a variety of feelings, thoughts, beliefs, reactions, confusion, past or present situations, etc. You can more easily think about, and choose, your preferred ways of living, by getting clear about what's going on, how you're being affected, and your usual responses. I delight to help in this kind of process: it can be a way of making things which are invisible, visible; things which are unspoken, clear; even things which were un-thought of, possible.
