I am a UK trained integrative psychotherapist. I offer integrative therapy to adults/young adults (age 16+). This form of therapy is tailored to you, integrating different models and theories in a considered way. I draw from a range of theories and interventions that best suit you. This way of working can help you understand how you operate in the world, what drives you forward and what might be holding you back because sometimes what is holding you back can be linked to early trauma(s) or a firmly held belief. In our work together we can come to better understand this. I can offer trauma informed interventions, such as EMDR, to help process and work through these with the aim to allow more flexibility and movement into your life. The work can be short term or open ended depending on your needs. I am a warm, caring and thoughtful practitioner. I will bring my 15 years of experience to attend to you and that which brings you to therapy.
I am an international; born in Japan, Dutch through birth, with English as my “native” language. I have lived in 8 countries and many more cities. Feeling strange and a stranger in a strange land is my normal!
