My Approach

I enjoy working in a warm and collaborative style, creating a space where people feel safe, understood and valued. I draw on a range of theoretical models and techniques which are adapted to the individual client. At the beginning, therapy is typically about building trust, getting to know each other and understanding what you want to work on. My practice draws on strengths and resilience approaches, and is underpinned by evidence based principles. I work with individuals, couples and families. I have a special interest in parent-child relationships and adoption and fostering.
