ABOUT ME

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist, passionate about supporting people who seek fulfilment in their life.

As an Integrative psychotherapist my role in the therapeutic relationship is to support the process of integrating aspects of your personality that may feel disjointed. Taking disowned, unaware or unresolved aspects of the self and making them part of a cohesive personality, reducing the use of defence mechanisms that inhibit spontaneity and flexibility, and relating with people, and re-engaging the world with full contact.

Through integration, it becomes possible for people to face each moment openly and freshly without the protection of a pre-formed opinion, position, attitude, or expectation.
