Why talk to me

I use a trauma sensitive approach to therapy.

I see people as a manifestation of systems such as parents, family, community, society and so on. My approach to therapy is rooted in recognising how these systems and individuals intermingle to result in how people think, feel and behave.

Our personalities are especially shaped by our early life experiences. What brings people to therapy are typically wounds and deficits from their childhood that show up in their adult lives.

Therefore, I work with the inner child in an environment of safety, trust and curiosity to facilitate healing.

I have 750+ hours of training & supervision to deal with a variety of issues like:

• "I want to strengthen my relationship with my partner"
• "I want to manage my anxiety better"
• "I am struggling with feelings of depression"
• "I want to handle stress better"
• "I want to process my grief"
• "I want to navigate life transitions more smoothly"
• "I want to improve my relationships"
• "I want to heal from my childhood trauma"
