Therapeutic approach
My approach to therapy is compassionate, person-centred, and tailored to each person’s unique individual needs – working at multiple levels with both content and process. I help you recognize patterns and dynamics quickly while simultaneously drawing out the deeper wisdom that’s already present but may not yet be fully formed in your awareness. Through careful attention to what emerges in our conversations, we illuminate the emotional and relational threads that, once connected, open new pathways for growth and meaningful change

I use an eclectic, holistic and integrative approach that draws from a range of modalities (as needed) grounded in the therapeutic framework of Relational Gestalt Psychotherapy. These include aspects of:

* Relational Gestalt Therapy
* Emotionally-Focused Therapy
* Relational Life Therapy
* The Developmental Model (Couples Institute)
* Neuroscience of attachment
* EMDR-Depth Enquiry
* Inner child and Parts work
* Psychodynamic approaches
* Body-based trauma informed practices
* Mindfulness
* Compassionate based practices
* Solution-Focused therapy
* Art therapy
* ACT, CBT, MI

* All of the above to support your emerging experience of wellness and wholeness.

Organisational Change Management
I also offer Consulting and Support services to Change Managers, dedicated to facilitating seamless organizational transitions. Whether it involves implementing new technology, processes, restructuring teams, or adapting to workplace changes, I’m here to offer practical help and support, tailored to your specific needs.

You cannot make yourself grow; you can only cease to interfere. You cannot make yourself happy; you can only stop the judgements. Growth and expansion are natural; they are the life force itself. And you cannot predict its direction.
