I offer psychological counselling for individuals and couples, both in person and online. I see therapy as a process in which change becomes possible through a safe, accepting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist. In my work, I value respectful encounters, genuine presence, and creating an experience of being heard. My approach is active and client-centred: the goals and focus of our sessions are shaped together, allowing us to concentrate on the issues that matter most to you. Our work may focus on developing greater self-awareness, finding new ways to understand and cope with difficult emotions and experiences, or changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. I aim to support my clients in developing a curious, compassionate, and accepting attitude towards their own needs, emotions, and thoughts. My primary therapeutic tool is conversation, but our sessions may also include experiential exercises such as mindfulness or reflective writing. In my work with couples, I primarily draw on an Emotionally Focused Therapy approach. I am a licensed psychologist and am currently training to become an integrative psychotherapist (graduation 2029).
