I combine my professional knowledge and skills with perspectives and wisdoms that I have acquired through life experience. Nothing teaches you about life quite like life itself, and you might on occasion hear me share some of my own experiences to exemplify or explain a concept.

Our dialogue is fundamental to what we achieve together. You could find endless bookshelves of studies into the benefits of this format, which I base on relational Gestalt therapy. For now, though, I thought to give you a brief background as to why it’s so efficient.

Much like a ball is “round” only because we can compare it to other shapes that are not, we define our own identity by relating to other people in our lives. Without relationships, there simply is no identity. Every human being depends on others to continually build and maintain a sense of self. This means that neither you nor I or anyone else will ever be truly independent or self-sufficient (and when things work as they should, there is something very beautiful about that). But we can still be free.

The key is to realise just how relationships affect you, and to learn to consciously consider thoughts and feelings instead of unconsciously letting them become part of your inner world. Our dialogue represents a safe testing ground for you to explore the mechanics of this process.

By engaging in therapeutic dialogue, you also develop a language for discussing new concepts. This is of great importance, because it’s incredibly difficult to understand something for which you do not yet have words. And giving you powerful tools is central to what I do.

Which brings me to my last point…
