The therapy methods I use

I work warmly and competently with the range of difficulties human beings experience.

With patience, curiosity and openness, we explore what you brings you to me.

As a psychologist I was trained in a number of therapies but it always comes back to this: we explore thoughts, feelings, and sensations. My favourite approaches are:

Internal Family Systems (IFS) is a gentle and respectful way of helping you understand what’s going on inside you. It’s based on the idea that we all have different parts — for example, one part might feel anxious, another might try to keep things under control, and another might feel hurt or stuck. IFS helps you get to know these parts, and to connect with your own inner calm and clarity — what we call the Self — so that healing and change can happen from the inside out.

Sensorimotor Psychotherapy is a body-based approach to healing from trauma and emotional distress. Sometimes, talking alone isn’t enough — especially when the body holds memories, tension, or reactions that words can’t fully express. This therapy gently helps you become more aware of your body’s signals (like tightness, restlessness, or shutting down), and supports you in finding new ways to feel safer, more present, and more connected to yourself. It’s about listening to the wisdom of the body, not just the mind.

Relationship therapy :

I have been trained in three of the most popular and effective relationship therapies: the Gottman Method, Emotions Focused Therapy (EFT) and Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO).

Relationship therapy offers a safe space to explore what’s happening between you and your partner (or family member), and to understand the patterns that may be causing tension, disconnection, or pain. Together, we look at how each person’s emotions, needs, and ways of protecting themselves can affect the relationship — and how to communicate more openly and kindly. The goal isn’t to assign blame, but to help you both feel heard, supported, and better able to connect.
