There are many different types of therapy. Each has its own way of understanding emotional distress and how change can happen.
Read about the kind therapies I provide to help you decide whether they’re right for you.

Individual Psychotherapy
We find ways of coping or surviving in response to earlier life experiences — within our families, cultures, & society.
Psychodynamic therapy focuses on understanding the emotional and relational patterns that may be shaping your current experiences.
These ways of coping may have been necessary at the time, but can sometimes become limiting or painful later on. Together we would
explore recurring patterns in relationships, understand emotional reactions that may feel confusing or overwhelming, notice how past experiences may still be influencing the present and making sense of internal conflicts or self-doubt
Rather than only focusing on reducing symptoms, this approach aims to help you understand
why certain difficulties arise, what they may mean, and how they are connected to your history or sense of self.
Over time, this understanding can support meaningful and lasting change.
Does it work?
Yes – psychodynamic psychotherapy has strong evidence, and is supported by continued improvement after ending therapy. Read more about it here
Group Psychotherapy
It is in the group we are hurt; and so, in the group we are healed.
Group therapy involves meeting regularly with a small number of people in a facilitated setting to explore emotional and relational experiences together. While each person brings their own concerns, the group becomes a space where shared experiences can be recognised and understood.
Groups can be particularly helpful for people who feel isolated or misunderstood, struggle with relationships, have experienced trauma, or are interested in exploring identity, belonging, or cultural experiences in a shared space
Many of the challenges we face in life occur in relationships. Group therapy offers an opportunity to notice how you relate to others, recognise interpersonal patterns, express thoughts or feelings that may feel difficult elsewhere, and experience being heard or responded to in new ways
