My Clinical Practice

To some degree, I think we all probably have an internal desire to want to live a good, fulfilling and meaningful life.  It is my belief that ultimately that desire eventually becomes shaped by how we relate to and manage our experiences with the people around us.

​This is how I have come to think about the nature of interpersonal relationships and the essence of therapy. If a person is given space and attention, is met with curiosity, respect, and understanding, a profound change can occur over time.

In therapy, with an interested ‘other’ (therapist), we can be helped to regain a sense of being alive in this world and to reconnect (or sometimes connect for the first time) with our sense of purpose. Through the process of therapy, we are continually attempting to make sense of our place in the world. Over time, borne out of a series of making (sometimes tiny but vital) internal shifts we can hopefully feel the connections with ourselves and with the world around us, strengthening

​Professionally, as a psychotherapist, I have been trained as an individual psychotherapist and group analyst, though I would say that the most important part of my learning has come from a combination of my own therapy (individual and group), personal reflections and deeper thinking that emerges from the dialogues I have with my clients.

In terms of reference points, I draw heavily from intersubjective theory, group-analytic thinking and the philosophical beliefs of existentialism. I believe that our sense of self is socially and relationally informed and that we are intensely driven towards connection to others. In my opinion, we grow when someone is genuinely interested in our uniqueness and sees us for who we are.

​If you are interested in the process or working with me let's have a conversation and see what grows from there.
