My approach is primarily informed by Schema Therapy and Compassion-Focused Therapy. This means that in our work together we will build a shared understanding of how your current difficulties and patterns have been shaped by past experiences. You will then be invited to build new patterns and practice new ways of relating to yourself and others (such as through Imagery Rescripting and Chair Work).

You can expect that we will work as a team. Our work will be guided by your goals and values. I will invite you to take the lead on making any desired changes while also offering suggestions and gentle encouragement to break patterns that no longer serve you.

I am also trained in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and may integrate components from these treatments, depending on your needs.
