Therapure
Approach
Understanding the patterns that shape us.
Four ways of working, used together and shaped around you. Here is what each one means in practice.
Who it is for
If you keep ending up in the same place
This way of working suits adults and couples who sense a pattern repeating and want to understand it, not just manage it for another week. It asks for some patience. In return, the work tends to go below the surface.
What we work with
The four methods I draw on
01
Internal Family Systems
Getting curious about your parts
Most of us have a part that protects, a part that avoids, and a part that criticizes. In IFS we stop arguing with them. We ask what each one is worried about, and often they soften once they feel understood.
02
Emotionally Focused Therapy
The feelings under the argument
With couples, the fight about dishes is rarely about dishes. EFT helps partners notice the cycle they fall into, like one pursuing and one pulling away, and name the hurt or fear running underneath it.
03
Psychodynamic work
Where the old rules came from
The family you grew up in taught you how love, anger, and need are supposed to work. We look at how those early lessons show up now, in how you relate to a partner, a boss, or yourself.
04
Narrative therapy
Room for a different story
We all carry a story about who we are, such as the responsible one or the difficult one. Narrative work separates you from that label and leaves space to tell your story another way.
How I work
Direct, honest, genuine, and kind
I won't sit quietly nodding for an hour. If I see something, I'll say it, with care and with room for you to disagree.
Therapy here is a partnership. You know your life; I know how patterns tend to work. Together we decide which method fits the moment, and that changes from person to person and couple to couple.
What can shift
Clients often describe catching a reaction a beat earlier, or feeling less at war with themselves. Change looks different for everyone, and it can take time.
What sessions look like
Weekly video sessions. Some weeks we talk through what happened; other weeks we slow down and stay with one feeling or one part.
