Are you looking to feel more comfortable in your life? Do you notice that you are compelled to continue showing up in a certain way: perfectionistic, people pleasing, avoiding vulnerability, defensive, critical, worrying, withdrawn, down, anxious or burnt-out?
If so, I know that you have tried to shift and can't find your way through. You want peace inside and ease everywhere.
And you deserve that.
Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength.
-Sigmund Freud
ABOUT ME
THERAPEUTIC MODALITIES
I use a warm and non-judgmental counselling approach that is based in an Emotion-Focused therapeutic orientation (EFT). I have also trained in Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Therapy (AEDP), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
It is, however, my training in Internal Family Systems (IFS) which most informs my practice and guides my work.
