About Linay
Linay leans on a deep understanding of relational dynamics and the role of emotion in achieving transformational change. With a focus on the relational aspects of therapy, she uses the therapeutic relationship to explore and understand clients’ emotional and relational patterns.
She values attachment theory and seeks to identify the ways in which early lived experiences shape peoples’ response patterns and perceptions of themselves, others, and the world. This approach allows Linay to guide clients in recognizing how these patterns have influenced their lives, working together to foster meaningful change and growth.
Linay views the therapeutic alliance as central to successful therapy.
