Integrative Psychotherapy 

Integrative psychotherapy combines various therapeutic approaches to meet the unique needs of each client.

In my practice, I embrace a holistic understanding and primarily draw from depth-oriented approaches such as psychodynamic, psychoanalytic, Jungian, and humanistic therapies.

My Approach

  • Psychodynamic

    I recognise unconscious patterns, defence mechanisms and inner conflicts that usually stem from childhood which can then affect current relationships with self and others. I also have a psychoanalytic framework for personality disorders and styles.

  • Humanistic

    I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space based on empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence, as well as looking at existential issues such as purpose and meaning.

  • Holistic

    I take into account the interconnectedness of the mind, body, & spirit by acknowledging the role of somatics, the nervous system, nutrition, gut health, movement, nature, social connections, sleep, as well as the energy body, chakra system, and spirituality.

  • Jungian

    I explore and understand archetypes and complexes through the use of symbols, dreams, active imagination, and shadow work to uncover the Self and resolve unconscious conflict.
