Who do you work with?
I support adolescents, adults, families, immigrants, neurodivergent individuals, and anyone feeling "out of place" or navigating life transitions. Whether you're dealing with emotional challenges, career dilemmas, trauma, or simply seeking deeper self-connection, DreamLab is a safe, inclusive space for you.
The DreamLab Approach:
How Psychotherapy Works
01
Initial Connection & Understading
We begin with a welcoming conversation — a chance for you to share what brings you here, your concerns, goals, and hopes. This is also where we start building a foundation of trust, ensuring you feel comfortable, heard, and supported.
02
Collaborative Formulation
Together, we’ll explore your story in depth — identifying key patterns, emotional triggers, past experiences, and underlying factors contributing to your current challenges. This process, known as formulation, helps us create a shared understanding of "why things feel the way they do" and "what keeps these patterns in place." It’s like drawing a compassionate map of your inner world, which will guide our therapeutic work.
03
Setting Meaningful Goals
Based on this understanding, we’ll define personalised goals that align with what truly matters to you — whether it’s improving emotional regulation, processing trauma, enhancing relationships, building self-esteem, or navigating life transitions. These goals remain flexible and can evolve as you grow throughout the process.
04
Exploration, Healing & Skill-Building
Through ongoing sessions, we’ll work towards these goals using an integrative approach — blending psychodynamic insights with evidence-based modalities like ACT, CBT, DBT, EMDR, Schema Therapy, and innovative tools such as Virtual Reality (VR) for emotional regulation and mindfulness. You’ll develop greater self-awareness, resilience, and practical strategies to navigate everyday challenges.
05
Integration & Empowerment
As insights deepen and emotional balance is restored, we’ll focus on integrating these changes into your daily life — fostering autonomy, authentic choices, and a renewed sense of purpose. This phase is about transforming therapeutic progress into lasting personal growth.
04
Reflection, Closure & Future Readiness
When you feel ready, we’ll reflect on your journey, celebrate your progress, and discuss closing the formal therapy process. Psychotherapy doesn’t "end" — it becomes part of how you understand and care for yourself moving forward. You’re always welcome to return for future sessions or check-ins whenever life calls for renewed support.
Psychotherapy
The Art of Walking Together: At DreamLab Psychology, psychotherapy is exactly that — a collaborative journey of understanding yourself more deeply, navigating challenges, and exploring your potential to live with greater authenticity, freedom, and emotional wellbeing.
Many people ask me if, after 23 years of practice, I’m not tired of talking about problems. My answer is simple:
I don’t work with problems — I work with the extraordinary human capacity to seek solutions, to adapt, and, when nothing seems to resolve, to simply walk alongside someone through what feels unbearable. Sometimes, the greatest healing is not in fixing, but in sharing the weight of what cannot be changed — and discovering, together, that even pain can be held with dignity, courage, and a touch of hope.
more about psychotherapy
It offers a safe and compassionate space where you can freely explore your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and life experiences without fear of judgment. It’s where we gently untangle the patterns that may be holding you back — whether shaped by trauma, anxiety, stress, mood difficulties, relationship struggles, or life’s many transitions — and move together towards meaningful, personalised transformation.
Here, therapy is never about "fixing" people or adapting them to fit into norms or expectations — it’s about embracing who you truly are and creating space for authentic growth on your own terms. It’s also about honouring your story, reconnecting you with your potential, softening what feels too heavy to carry alone, and co-creating new ways of being — with yourself, with others, and with the world around you.
