My approach

People I work with come from many backgrounds and for many reasons including anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, low self-esteem, childhood issues, mid-life questions and spiritual crisis, cultural issues, alienation, eating disorders, severe illnesses or any other life crisis. In general those seeking psychotherapy want to become more at home in themselves.

My work as a therapist is informed by classical Jungian concepts as well as by developmental approaches as they pertain to unconscious processes. My understanding of human and psychological development, together with an emphasis on attachment patterns and the psychology of complexes are pillars which support my work.

I pay particular attention to the dreams, images, symbols and metaphors as well as to the events of everyday life and their meaning and where called for work creatively with guided visualisations and even drawings. Whilst working together with a patient, we engage in dialogue and work creatively with the patient’s inner world.

My aim is to provide a safe enough environment where the as yet ‘unspoken’ may be heard; where difficult issues that may lie in the past, present or future may be explored; a place where a new relationship may be established with the inner world and its potential for future development.
