The Therapy I Offer
To be seen, known, and heard by another person is in itself healing so that is what I offer.
My therapy can be defined by the following features -
Having empathy for your whole experience.
Being genuine and transparent with you.
Accepting, trusting, and believing in you.
I don't give advice, tell you what to think, or how you should be.
In this kind of relationship you are able to make the changes you want to. You will be taken as you are, listened to no matter what you talk about, and I won't be trying to get you to be a certain way.
What you talk about in the sessions is up to you, you're in charge here. I really trust that you know best when it comes to what's inside you, what wants to be shared, and how that happens.
I can help with a wide variety of issues because I'm connecting with your individual experience of what it's like to have those difficulties rather than just treating the problem in a prescriptive, impersonal way. This quality of connection helps me work with all ages - young children, teenagers, and adults, providing effective therapy to anyone who needs it.

without trying to take responsibility for you, without trying to mould you, it feels damn good…”
