My Therapeutic Approaches
Systemic Therapy
Explores how family, cultural, and social systems impact your experiences and relationships. This approach helps you understand patterns within your family and cultural context, and how these influences your identity and choices.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. This approach provides practical tools for managing difficult emotions and developing new coping strategies.
Psychodynamic
Examines how past experiences, particularly from childhood, shape current patterns and relationships. This approach helps uncover unconscious processes and provides insight into recurring patterns.
Person-Centered
Creates a non-judgemental, empathetic space where you can explore your experiences and feelings freely. This approach emphasizes your inherent capacity for growth and self-direction.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT)
Concentrates on finding solutions rather than dwelling on problems. This approach helps you identify your strengths and resources to create positive change in your life.
Narrative Therapy & Somatic Work
Narrative therapy helps you reframe your story and create new meanings, while somatic work connects you with bodily sensations to process emotions and trauma held in the body.
