Psychotherapy is often described as a talking therapy, but I also think of it as a listening therapy. It is a unique experience where you can speak openly without fear of judgment to someone who genuinely listens and wants to understand you. As you talk to your therapist, over time you can begin to make sense of current difficulties in the context of your life story. I take a ‘working things out together’ approach, going at your pace, rather than offering strategies or setting goals. By gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, your feelings and your relationships, I find it becomes possible to develop your own wisdom and the ability to live more fully as you truly are.
I have a Masters Degree in Humanistic and Integrative Psychotherapy. This means that my practice is based on the humanistic principles of genuineness, empathy and respect, and the belief that we all have the potential to heal and grow within a trustworthy relationship. I have also studied other theories as part of my integrative training which inform all aspects of my work. I have experience of working with a wide range of clients in private practice, the NHS and a community charity.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
