My therapeutic approach
As a trained analyst, I bring an analytical perspective to therapy that helps me understand individuals’ challenges and life experiences. Therapy or analysis is a process of self-discovery where you can gain new insights into yourself and your difficulties which lead to a greater sense of self-awareness and growth. My approach consists of ensuring a safe and non-judgmental space for you to comfortably share and discuss your thoughts, feelings, concerns, and difficulties openly.
In session, I aim to assist you in gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, so that you can better manage and overcome the challenges you face. I will ask questions to help you articulate and understand your thoughts, emotions, and perspectives more clearly. We will explore the connections between your current challenges and your past experiences to help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop a better handling of your difficulties. We will identify the core limitations that have been holding you back and work together to understand their origins and purpose. I will also help you interpret your dreams, thoughts, and reactions for us to work through your anxieties and emotional distress.
To summarize, I aim to work collaboratively with you to help you recover your drive for life, to empower you to make positive and meaningful changes.
