Empowering you to make changes and

restore balance to your life

Therapeutic Support

Wellbeing is shaped by many layers of our lives -- our thoughts, emotions, relationships, history, and the stories we tell about ourselves.  When we work together, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches to help you understand what you are experiencing, ease distress, and move towards balance, clarity, and self--compassion.

Different tools resonate with different people at different times, so I tailor the process to your needs, your pace, and your goals.  Below you will find a selection of the approaches I use.  Each offers a unique way of exploring your inner world, developing insight, and supporting meaningful change.

Narrative Approaches

Narrative approaches explore the stories that shape how you see yourself and your life.  In our work together, you are supported to tell your story, make sense of its meaning, and gently re-write the parts that no longer serve you.  Through reflection, insight, and shared examples, narrative work fosters clarity and self--compassion.
