Psychotherapy is a confidential, collaborative process where you and your therapist reflect on your inner world and explore emotional pain or patterns that feel hard to shift. It’s not about advice or quick fixes, but about supporting deeper self-understanding, resilience, and change.

In your first session, your therapist will gently get to know you, your concerns, your history, and your hopes. Over time, therapy becomes a consistent and trusting relationship shaped together at your pace. Conversations are reflective and emotionally attuned rather than directive.

Our approach is grounded in the understanding that we are shaped by our early environments, relationships, and life experiences. We believe that development is a lifelong process, and that who we are continues to evolve in relationship with others and in response to life’s challenges.

We don’t approach therapy as fixing a problem or diagnosing what’s wrong. Instead, we’re interested in understanding what your struggles might be saying about your life, your history, and what matters to you. We see emotional pain not as pathology, but as meaningful and worth listening to.

In this sense, psychotherapy is more than symptom relief, it’s a space to better understand how your sense of self has formed, what has shaped your patterns of feeling, thinking, and relating, and how these can shift. Secure, attuned relationships like the one we aim to build in therapy are central to this process. As trust develops, the therapeutic relationship itself may become a space to notice and gently revise old patterns of relating.

Whether or not you have a diagnosis, people come to therapy for support with anxiety, low mood, grief, trauma, relationship struggles, questions around identity or purpose, or when life feels overwhelming or empty. Therapy can be short, medium, or longer-term depending on your needs and goals.

We draw on research-based models including the Conversational Model, trauma-informed psychodynamic therapies, interpersonal psychotherapy, and somatic approaches. While specific models guide our thinking, we recognise that no single theory can fully capture the complexity of a person. Our work is grounded in curiosity, respect, and a commitment to understanding you as a whole person.
