About my work

A depth-oriented approach

Orientation

My work is grounded in gestalt psychotherapy and informed by relational and humanistic-existential approaches, and I work integratively, drawing on experience rather than following a fixed protocol.

Instead of analysing the past, this way of working focuses on how you experience yourself and your life in the present – how you feel, respond, and relate to others. It helps you to notice patterns that often operate just outside of your conscious awareness.

Psychotherapy provides a space to pay attention to these experiences in a more focused and sustained way.

The Process

Over time, the patterns that shape your life – how you hold yourself, relate to others or manage difficulty – begin to emerge more clearly, and we work with these patterns as they arise, not only by talking about them, but also by observing and exploring them in the present moment.

This allows for a different kind of understanding – one that is lived and experienced, rather than purely intellectual.

The relationship

The therapeutic relationship is central to this work.

It is not a conventional relationship, but a boundaried and professional one in which you are invited to bring more of yourself – including aspects that may make you feel uncertain or uncomfortable, or which you may find difficult to express elsewhere.

At times, I may offer observations or challenges that invite you to see yourself differently. This is done carefully and always in service of your process.

The Frame

I work in an open-ended format.

We meet weekly, at the same time each week, which provides a consistent and reliable structure for the work.

There are no quick fixes in this kind of therapy. Change tends to emerge gradually, through sustained attention and a developing therapeutic relationship.

The aim is not to provide solutions, but to support a deeper understanding of yourself and a greater capacity to navigate your life more freely.
