Welcome
I’m Mili, an experienced Psychotherapist helping people overcome emotional, psychological and relation struggles. I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space for you to explore and reflect on your thoughts and feelings safely, and begin to make sense of patterns of thought that may be contributing to experiencing life negatively.
I have experience working with a wide range of emotional difficulties, including anxiety, depression and stress: along with particular experience relating to bereavement and grief, relationship and identity struggles. I understand that loss can take many forms, not only the death of a loved one, but also losses related to identity, relationships, family expectations, or life transitions. My personal background and clinical experience have made me especially attentive to how culture, family systems, and unspoken expectations can shape emotional life.
You don’t need to have an clearly stated problem ready to bring into therapy, often the reasons why something doesn't feel quite right emerge naturally as part of the work.
How therapy with me works:
My approach is rooted in Psychodynamic thinking, which recognises how past experiences have or continue to contribute to shape how we feel and relate to ourselves and others today. Together, we will explore the patterns and thoughts that might be repeating in your life keeping you stuck. We will work to find new ways of understanding, responding to create possibilities for meaningful change.
This kind of work can lead to greater self-awareness, emotional freedom, and a stronger sense of agency in your life. Therapy with me will be a collaborative process: a safe place to understand the deeper roots of your current struggles. Whether you’re navigating a specific issue or are feeling a more general sense of dissatisfaction in life, we can help you find clarity and a way forward.
Often, the work begins with curiosity about yourself and your experiences.
Starting Therapy
First - Schedule a call
Begin with a complementary consultation call.
This gives us the opportunity to talk about whats brought you to therapy at this time.
I'll explain how I work, answer your questions and help you get a sense of what therapy with me might look like.
Second - Arrange your session
Book a 60 minute introductory session. The extended sessions allows us to explore your concerns in more depth and consider how we might work together.
There's no expectation to continue beyond this session. It's simply a space to see whether we feel like the right fit for one another.
Third - Ongoing 50 minute weekly sessions
If we decide to move forward, we'll set up regular sessions either in person or online.
As our work develops, we'll check in regularly about how things are progressing and adjust our approach as needed ensuring therapy remains aligned with your goals.
