My Approach

In Detail

Mindfulness CBT

This approach blends cognitive behavioural tools with present-moment awareness. Clients learn to notice unhelpful thought patterns without being overwhelmed by them, develop practical coping strategies, and respond to stress, anxiety, and depression with greater intention and balance.

Emotion focused Couples Therapy

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) helps couples move out of conflict cycles and into deeper connection. By identifying unmet attachment needs and underlying emotions, partners learn to communicate vulnerably, rebuild trust, and strengthen their bond.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Rooted in attachment theory, this approach explores how early relational experiences shape current relationships. By understanding patterns of closeness, distance, and protection, clients can develop more secure, connected, and fulfilling relationships.

Somatic Therapy

A body-based approach to healing that recognizes how trauma, stress, and emotion are stored in the nervous system. Through gentle awareness of physical sensations, breath, and movement, clients learn to regulate their bodies, process difficult experiences, and build resilience from the inside out.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma-informed therapy provides a safe, collaborative space to process overwhelming experiences at your own pace. With attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and empowerment, this work supports healing from past harm without re-traumatization.

Internal Family Systems

IFS understands the mind as made up of different “parts,” each with its own role and story. By building a compassionate relationship with these parts, clients can heal wounded aspects of themselves, reduce inner conflict, and access their core Self — a place of clarity, calm, and confidence.
