Specialisations and Expertises

1. Emotional overwhelm

I support people who feel flooded by emotions or unsure why certain feelings arise so intensely. Together we slow down and make sense of what sits beneath the surface.

2. Identity & belonging

Questions of who you are, where you fit, and how culture or family shape you are central to the work. I offer a space to explore identity with curiosity and care.

3. Cultural pressures

Many people carry expectations from family, community, or heritage. We explore how these shape your choices, emotions, and sense of self.

4. Low self‑worth

I help you understand the early experiences and internal messages that shaped how you see yourself, and support you in building a more compassionate inner world.

5. Self‑criticism

Harsh inner voices often come from old emotional roles. We explore their origins and work toward gentler, more supportive ways of relating to yourself.

6. Early life patterns

Psychodynamic work helps uncover how early relationships and unconscious processes influence your present‑day reactions, behaviours, and emotional patterns.

7. Anxiety & uncertainty

Whether rooted in past experiences or current pressures, we explore what your anxiety is signalling and how to navigate uncertainty with more grounding.

8. Life transitions

Periods of change can stir up fear, grief, or confusion. I offer a steady space to process transitions and understand what they evoke in you.

9. Relationship patterns

Even in individual therapy, relational dynamics matter. We explore how past relationships shape how you connect, protect, or distance yourself today.

10. Boundaries & safety

I help you understand your needs, set boundaries that honour them, and build a sense of emotional safety within yourself and with others.

There’s no fixed number of sessions — each person’s pace and needs are different. Some people come for a short period to focus on a specific concern; others stay longer to explore deeper patterns, early experiences, or identity‑related themes. Sessions are 50 minutes, online or in person, and we decide together what feels supportive and sustainable for your journey.

Most common issues I support people with:

1. Feeling Overwhelmed or Emotionally Stuck

Many people come when life feels heavy, confusing, or difficult to navigate alone. I offer a calm, reflective space to slow down, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and make sense of emotions that feel tangled or hard to hold.

2. Identity, Belonging, and Cultural Pressures

Questions of who you are, where you belong, and how culture or family expectations shape you are central to my work. I hold these layers with cultural fluency, helping you explore identity, language, belonging, and the emotional landscapes you’ve inherited.

3. Low Self‑Worth and Self‑Criticism

Many people struggle with an inner voice that is harsh, demanding, or difficult to quiet. Together we explore where these beliefs began, how they’ve been reinforced, and what it might mean to relate to yourself with more compassion and steadiness.

4. Repeating Patterns Rooted in Early Experiences

Old patterns often show up in the present — in relationships, work, or the way you respond to stress. Through a psychodynamic lens, we explore early relationships, unconscious processes, and the emotional roles you learned to carry, so you can understand and shift what no longer serves you.

5. Anxiety, Uncertainty, and Life Transitions

Periods of change can stir up fear, doubt, or a sense of losing your footing. I support you in navigating transitions with clarity and grounding, helping you understand what these moments evoke and how to move through them with more confidence and care.
