About my Practice: An integrative and client-centred approach is at the core of my therapeutic practice – always prioritizing and addressing whatever needs are arising in the present moment.
That being said, I primarily draw from two modalities during our work together: a psychodynamic/developmental counselling perspective (which also offers the use of creative arts as a potential medium if suitable) and compassion-focussed mindfulness techniques. Using the latter can help develop awareness and a sense of workability around difficult experiences, which is further supported by practical behavioural techniques that help develop a better vocabulary and tool-kit to work with difficult acute emotional experiences in daily life. Alongside this, the aforementioned psychodynamic/developmental method can be helpful in allowing space for longer-term exploration of unconscious complexes and habitual patterns that are often rooted in past traumatic experiences. The creative arts can often be employed helpfully in these cases, when exploring difficult issues from a less direct, more oblique perspective is more beneficial.
Alongside this, as a neurodivergent and queer person, I feel that I am able to actively relate with a variety of experiences and draw from my own struggles to empathize with any condition you may find yourself in while providing beneficial interventions.
