Most issues that people experience have their origins in childhood when developmental needs were not met. Most parents mean well and do their best but because our culture is generally ignorant about the early needs of children the child has to learn how to adapt. For example a parent because of their upbringing may be easily angered. One way is for the child to move towards the parent by always trying to please the parent to ward off an angry episode. That is the behavior and the belief is "I have to be good or mummy will not love me." This establishes a mode that may not be helpful in later life in intimate relationships.

I hold an empathic and safe space for you to make sense of transitional life stages including young adulthood, parenthood, retirement, separation and grief. These rites of passage can feel overwhelming, exhausting, burdensome and uncertain. It can be a lonely time, but it does not have to be. Sessions with me are a time to pause, connect and unpack what you are carrying through the lens of an intergenerational, developmental, attachment-theory, trauma informed and interpersonal neurobiological process. I work in depth and relationally with clients who want to experience impactful and meaningful connection, support and healing.

Whether you are returning to therapy or thinking about starting for the first time, my aim is to create a space where you feel connected and supported. I work with adults, teens, and parents of young children, offering evidence-based interventions that focus on the neurobiology of attachment and wellbeing. How we use our time together is determined by what you need. Schema Therapy is my preferred approach. It provides a model for exploring how early experiences shape the way we function. I also utilise Solution-Focused Therapy, which is a more short-term intervention that shifts the focus from our problems to our existing strengths.
