Symbolic Meaning: Folding & Unfolding


Origami-style folded paper pattern representing the folding & unfolding metaphor in therapy.


I see the human psyche much like origami — shaped by the folds we made to survive.
Each crease tells a story: adaptation, protection, pressure, and the ingenious ways we stayed intact in environments that asked too much or offered too little. These folds are not mistakes; they are evidence of our intelligence.
Therapy is not about flattening what life has shaped.
It is a gentle unfolding — creating space for the paper to breathe again, revealing hidden surfaces, forgotten colours, and possibilities that once felt unreachable. As we unfold, new forms become thinkable. Integration becomes possible. Structure and softness can coexist.
My work holds both the softness and the point:
the emotional field where you can rest,
and the clinical precision that helps you understand the architecture of your mind.
Together, we explore the folds that made you who you are —
and the unfolding that lets you become who you are becoming.
