Therapy, as I practise it, begins with our curiosity. Before anything can change, it needs to be understood. That means looking not just at what is happening on the surface, but at what lies beneath: the patterns that repeat across your life, the feelings that are difficult to reach, the moments when you feel most yourself and those when you do not.

The relationship between us matters, not as a backdrop to the work, but as the medium through which it happens. Change tends to emerge from genuine connection, from feeling understood in a way that is specific to you, not to a diagnosis or a protocol.

I draw on psychodynamic and relational thinking, attachment theory, ISTDP, and existential therapy. In practice, that means we follow what is alive for you, at a pace that feels right, without a fixed agenda.
