Individual Therapy
Individual therapy offers a structured space to explore patterns shaping your emotional life, relationships, and sense of self, particularly those that repeat despite familiarity or conscious effort.
People often seek therapy when the same difficulties keep returning, even when they understand aspects of the problem intellectually. This may show up as anxiety, emotional reactivity, relational difficulty, or a feeling of repetition despite self-awareness or personal work.
Therapy offers a container to examine emotional, relational, and internal patterns as they unfold over time. Rather than focusing on quick fixes or surface-level solutions, this work attends to the underlying processes that shape how you experience yourself and how you relate to and respond to others.

Areas of Focus
Therapy addresses:
Recurrent relationship difficulties or attachment-based patterns
Anxiety, stress, and emotional states that interfere with daily life
Difficulties with emotional regulation, including anger or jealousy
Experiences of childhood abuse, neglect, or developmental trauma
Intimacy-related concerns, including sexual shame
Persistent feelings of loneliness or disconnection
Depression, low mood and reduced motivation
Low self-confidence or self-esteem
Sleep difficulties, including insomnia, nightmares, or sleep anxiety
Processing and integrating psychedelic experiences and non-ordinary states of consciousness
These concerns are often interconnected and explored within the context of your broader psychological and relational life.
My Approach
My work is integrative, with a psychodynamic and person-centred orientation. I also draw on emotionally focused therapy, parts-based approaches and inner child work, allowing therapy to respond to what’s needed.
Hypnotherapy can be used within a broader therapeutic framework, allowing experiences, memories, and emotional states to be explored and integrated rather than simply managed. Analytical, hypno-psychotherapeutic, and Ericksonian methods can support deeper access to unconscious processes.
In sessions, I am direct and curious. I pay attention to what is said, what is avoided, and how patterns repeat, and I ask questions that may feel unexpected. As therapy progresses, the patterns shaping your inner life and relationships become visible and can be examined with care, attention, and continuity.
How Therapy is Structured
Individual therapy sessions are held online via Zoom.
Therapy is most effective when it takes place within a consistent structure. Where we proceed, sessions typically occur weekly at a set time. In some cases, twice-weekly sessions may be appropriate and can support more intensive work.
I most often work with clients on a medium- or long-term basis. This allows space for patterns to emerge, be understood, and gradually reorganised. Short-term therapy may be appropriate in specific circumstances, during a period of focus on a specific issue.
Beginning Therapy
Initial consultations are 20 minutes by Zoom or phone to explore whether this work is appropriate for your situation and whether there is a mutual fit. The consultation is not a therapeutic session, but an opportunity to clarify what you are seeking and to discuss how the work would be structured.
