About me

Calm, easy-going and non-judgemental therapist. I am bilingual and have lots of experience working inter-culturally with my clients. I like to work psychodynamically, which means sessions will be focused on your unconscious, early relationships, and development as a way of understanding your current moods, behaviour, decisions and patterns. People who find this model helpful usually feel their problems are things that are much more complex and deep-rooted. Clients often express that working psychodynamically has taught them to be much more reflective and have a greater sense of awareness in their everyday lives. Where appropriate, I can offer resilience skills, guided meditation, breathwork and mindfulness-based sessions for clients. These can be quite helpful in soothing, grounding and regulating emotions more effectively - especially as we try and make sense of today's new normal.

The approach utilised is rooted in the psychodynamic framework. This indicates that our sessions will delve into your unconscious mind, early relationships, and personal development. The aim is to facilitate an understanding of your present emotions, behaviours, decisions, and patterns. Those who find this approach beneficial often perceive their issues as intricate and deeply ingrained. Clients also report that engaging in psychodynamic work enhances their capacity for reflection and heightens their awareness in daily life. Psychodynamic therapy has been endorsed by the National Institute of Health and Care Excellence as beneficial for individuals grappling with depression, self-harm, and social anxiety. Where appropriate Clarity Therapy also draws from EMDR protocols, Kundalini, breathwork, mindfulness, and sound can also be integrated in your therapy. Sessions are conducted with strict confidentiality, adhering to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy's Code of Ethics. Typically, individual therapy sessions occur once or twice a week for 50 minutes. Sessions may be structured with a predetermined endpoint or left open-ended, depending on your therapeutic goals and availability.
