I provide psychotherapy for mental health and personal growth.
While people often start a psychotherapy because of emotional or mental trouble, it is fundamentally a growth oriented, soul oriented endeavour. It helps you to
🌼become present to feelings and sensations
🌼experience security and confidence
🌼express your creativity
🌼work towards expansion and contentment
An underlying aim is to help you with the creative regulation of your instinctual emotional life. This helps in a variety of psychologically related issues, such as :
Addiction and Craving
Anxiety, Depression and Rumination
Relationship conflict
Loss and Grief
Trauma and traumatic stress
Suicidal thoughts and feelings
My stance is that we are made of heart, body and soul, and that we are at our best when we are our best in all three planes.
In particular I support developing greater emotional self-awareness. This involves becoming aware of anxiety and connecting to emotional experience.
My approach is centred in relational psychoanalysis.
I am also informed by Cognitive theory, Neuroscience, and Transpersonal psychology.
We discuss your needs on an ongoing basis, and work with the intentions and issues that you bring. The style is relational and conversational .
In order to bring about the kind of deep and lasting change a psychoanalytic psychotherapy does, your commitment should be weekly for a minimum of three months.
You are protected by the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights.
Some of the tenets of this practice are attunement, healing, insight, presence, and therapeutic relationship.
What you can bring to psychotherapy, to make it a growthful experience, are curiosity, integrity, courage, and hope.

Therapy space
Emotion is the sacred channel through which a directing intelligence enters the soul.
A powerful primitive emotion can effect an authentic psychological transformation if it is trusted, just as often as can a great spiritual transformation.
