My Approach

I use a systemic/relational and integrative approach informed by both NICE guidelines and evidence based interventions as well as experience of practice accumulated over the years.
I aim to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where people can make sense of their experiences and feel supported in a compassionate way. I am guided by the needs of the people I sees, I have a collaborative approach to my work and value a transparent and strength based approach. In my work I use many creative tools including play, drawing, writing etc. as a way of ensuring the support provided is adapted to individual and family/couple’s needs and is accessible and useful to the people that I work with.
My practice is trauma informed and I am particularly interested in what gets located in the body and the circular relationship between our bodies and our surroundings as we develop and live our lives.
I always tries to maintain a position of respectful curiosity towards everyone I work with. It is my belief that it is important for the people I see to feel empowered through working together and enabled to achieve the changes they want in their lives.
