My approach

My therapeutic approach is integrative and collaborative, grounded primarily in Schema Therapy. This model aims to identify, understand, and address the Schemas that influence our lives. Schemas are deeply rooted patterns made up of thoughts, memories, and emotions that shape how we perceive the world and relate to ourselves and others. I also draw from person-centred, systemic, and ACT, according to the person’s needs and the therapeutic plan.

My approach is anchored in the therapeutic relationship. From this foundation, we can explore challenging experiences, recognise recurring patterns, and experiment with new responses. The therapeutic process blends insight and emotional healing with practical, cognitive and behavioural tools, supporting change that is both understood and embodied.

I offer a thorough assessment and craft a therapeutic plan in collaboration with you. Sessions are paced to your needs, and we review progress to adjust the approach as required. I attend to emotion, cognition, and behaviour with particular attention to lived experience. I can work in a more directive, structured way to help you reach specific goals, or provide a safe space to attend to wounds from the past or explore unfinished business and address relational dynamics. Where helpful, I refer to other professionals to support the work.

How can I schedule a consultation and what is it for?

Although my practice of each may enrich the other, yoga and psychotherapy are distinct offerings. Each is provided in a different context, with its own methodology, protocols, and aims.
