Practice description
I am a warm and dynamic therapist offering a safe and supportive space where you can talk about your experiences without judgement and at your own pace. I have experience working as a therapist for an LGBTQIA+ charity where I work affirmatively with those from across the GSRD (gender, sex and relationship diversity) spectrum. I pay close attention to intersectionality in my work where I seek to understand all that makes up ‘you’ including the identities you hold, your upbringing and the social and cultural world around you.
In my work, I often draw on psychodynamic ways of working which involve paying attention to early experiences, making space to process difficult feelings and traumas, drawing connections between your past and present and identifying patterns in your life that might be keeping you stuck. We may come to notice unconscious processes operating outside of your awareness including hidden feelings and pressures, enabling you to widen your understanding of yourself and your relationships, opening up a sense of freedom and choice in how you move through the world and relate to others.
