More about the therapy you will undertake with me

I use a combination of the following therapies to help clients work through problems which have often been holding them back for a long time. When I work with children and young people, I tailor both approaches appropriately to the age of the child.

Psychodynamic psychotherapy is a collaborative and reflective form of therapy that helps you explore the deeper, often unconscious patterns that shape your thoughts, feelings, and relationships. Rooted in psychoanalytic tradition, it focuses on understanding how your past, particularly early experiences and relationships, may influence your present-day struggles.

​

​Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) is an evidence-based, emotion-focused approach designed to help people overcome longstanding patterns of emotional distress and self-defeating behavior. It works by identifying and addressing the unconscious emotional blocks that keep you stuck. 

In ISTDP, we work actively and collaboratively to help you become more aware of these patterns as they arise in the moment.
