Many people come to me having already tried other approaches - perhaps CBT, counselling, or coaching. These can be helpful, but they don't always reach the deeper roots of long-standing difficulties. Psychodynamic therapy works differently: rather than focusing on managing symptoms, we work to understand them. Understanding brings choice - once we see why a pattern formed, we are no longer simply repeating it.

At the heart of this work is a relationship unlike any other. The therapeutic relationship is not a friendship, a parental relationship, a partnership, or a rescue. It is something uniquely its own - a space built for deep listening, attunement, and the exploration of experiences that may never have been explored before, without shame or judgment.
