As an integrative psychotherapist, I combine various schools of psychotherapy to address the specific needs and goals of my clients, and to help them identify their core emotional difficulty. I believe that the therapeutic relationship is a key element of the process, and I invite clients to consider new perspectives and potentially new ways of being, by creating space for inner experience. This enables us to trust in our own inner guidance, promoting self-awareness and self-acceptance – these are essential elements for growth and any transformative healing process.

I frequently employ Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Therapy (AEDT) in my work. This approach distils the most effective elements of psychodynamic therapy into a more targeted strategy to promote transformation, with an emphasis on the experiential – because just talking about things is not enough: there must be deeper embodiment of change that comes through feeling differently. The content is dynamic, as it emphasises our conscious and unconscious interactions with ourselves and others. This is a relatively directive approach, which means the therapist does not take a passive role and is actively engaged and collaborates in the process. My approach though is integrative, and I often employ other modalities such as Attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS) working with clients distinct ‘parts’, as well as sensorimotor practices, ACT, Mindfulness, and Gestalt chair work.
