It's a Joy to be hidden, and disaster not to be found.
D W Winnicott
Our early relationships and environments can often lead us to over identify with, and internalise the projections, expectations, and demands of others. Therapy offers a space and time for you to get to know, and become reacquainted with your internal world. Over time, the therapeutic process may not only illuminate your conscious, but your unconscious beliefs, emotions, and narratives which may be contributing to your inner conflict and difficulties. It can give you a deeper understanding and connection with a more authentic sense of who you are, in the here and now, and how you relate to the world.
​
I will endeavour to be a warm, empathic and non judgemental witness to your process. I will sit beside you and provide the containment, safety and support, so you can explore your past and present experiences, thoughts, feelings and patterns of relating. It may not only alleviate the symptoms that are troubling you, but it may also help you to make deep seated changes to your sense of agency, personality, and development.
I understand it takes considerable courage to reach out and entrust your inner difficulties with someone. I offer a 15 minute free introductory call so we can think together about what brings you to therapy and what psychodynamic psychotherapy entails before you commit to a more formal initial consultation. Please do get in touch to see how I can help.
