Approach / How I Work

My approach to therapy is relational, reflective, and grounded in emotional safety. I aim to offer a calm and confidential therapeutic space where you can slow down, speak freely, and explore experiences that may feel confusing, overwhelming, or difficult to hold alone.
I work integratively, drawing primarily from person-centred and psychodynamic traditions, while being attentive to cultural background, family relationships, and the patterns that shape how you think, feel, and relate to others.
Rather than focusing on quick fixes, I work collaboratively and at your pace, allowing space for clarity, meaning, and change to emerge in a way that feels safe and sustainable.
