A warm welcome to Root and Rise Therapy Practice.

I’m Saffy, an experienced psychodynamic therapist passionate about and devoted to helping clients break free from what is holding them back and cultivate a deeper connection to themselves, others and life itself.

 What Root and Rise can support you with?…

Whether you’re carrying experiences from childhood, navigating loss or simply feeling the pressures of being human, you don't have to carry those burdens alone. You don’t need to know where to begin. Wherever you are in life, Root and Rise is open to anyone wanting a safe place to land in this busy world and to finally find some lasting change.

How I work…

As a psychodynamic therapist I place much importance on the power of the unconscious, while being passionate about helping clients understand and regulate their body and emotions, so they to feel more at home in their bodies and more engaged in their lives.

Together, we can become more acquainted with things that lie outside of your awareness, identify patterns that keep you stuck and understand the parts of your history that may have powerful impact on what’s happening now in your life. Through this process, we work towards creating and sustaining a life that feels more meaningful, fulfilling and true to you.

 “You can carry the past without letting it carry you.”

My Underlying Philosophy.

The name Root and Rise reflects the philosophy at the heart of my practice. Just as a tree needs strong roots to grow, so do we. By exploring what lies beneath, we can strengthen our foundations and create the freedom to grow and flourish in the way we were always destined to.
