My approach to psychotherapy is to explore a person’s world on all levels. This extends from the innermost layers of the self to the outermost layers of the person’s world of relationships.
I integrate an in-depth approach with a relational approach which sews together a person’s past and present in order to optimise their future. Through this process a golden thread is formed which enables the person to live unrestrained by the past and authentically in the present.
People are shaped by their experiences which impacts the way a person relates to himself/herself in the present and contributes significantly to how they relate to others. As a result of past experiences, people often find themselves stuck in ineffective patterns of relating which leaves the person feeling hurt, isolated or with a mistrust of relationships.
I work from the mindset that our short time here on this planet should be meaningful and fulfilling. In my therapeutic space I endeavour help people find their meaning, joy and deep satisfaction with life. I use many different psychotherapeutic tools do do this.
