Individual Therapy
Finding a therapist can be daunting, especially when it's hard to pinpoint what's wrong. You might feel lost, have mood swings, low self-confidence, or struggle with boundaries. Experiencing discrimination like racism, transphobia, or homophobia can also take a toll. It's important to find a therapist who understands your experiences and identity. This connection can make a significant difference. When you're ready, I'll help you take that first step.
Types of Therapy
I work from an integrative perspective because I believe no two human beings are the same; therefore, one therapeutic approach cannot work for all, using a combination of the following therapy styles:
Trauma-informed
Attachment
Body and somatic
Existential
Humanistic
Person-centred
Relational
Transpersonal
From a relational and trauma-informed perspective, I believe that within a strong, trusting and safe therapeutic relationship, we can work together to raise an unconscious process into conscious awareness.
From an existential perspective, I work with my clients non-judgmentally and empathically, assuming nothing about their experiences while creating space for them to discover their own life meaning.
From a psychoanalytic and humanistic perspective, I use attachment theory to understand how my clients’ early trauma may have affected their relationships with others. The therapeutic relationship is essential for modelling healthy and secure attachments in the present moment.
From a transpersonal and embodied perspective, I like to work as two human bodies in a room together, carrying generations of life experience and oppression. I am also a published writer, using poetry and prose as a form of expression and narrative therapy.
