My Approach

As an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist there are a number of elements that therapy may include. The ones we use will depend on what you want to work on and your preferences. These can involve:

- Exploring how your past influences your present. What we see as children can lead us to make assumptions about the world that we sometimes aren't aware of. Knowing some of the reasons you feel the way you do can help you move forwards.
- Exploring what blocks you from doing the things that make you happy.
- Exploring current relationship dynamics and what you can do to make positive changes whether that be with your family, partner or friends.
- Working with past trauma in a safe, contained manner.
- Exercises and specific strategies for you to take away to deal with areas you want to address such as building confidence and self-esteem, decreasing anxiety etc.
- CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) based techniques. Exploring negative thought patterns and using strategies to identify and change them.
- EMDR, the NHS recommended treatment for PTSD but can also be effective for troubling childhood memories, anxiety and depression.
- IFS (Internal Family Systems), I integrate this approach with EMDR. It's an approach about the different parts of ourselves including those exiled through trauma or protecting us in ways that may no longer be useful. It's useful if you don't feel like yourself right now as it gives ways of accessing your self again.

I'm currently offering weekly one hour long counselling and psychotherapy sessions either long term or over a short term period, (8 - 12 weeks).

For couples I offer relationship counselling providing a confidential space to work through relationship issues. This may be to build a stronger relationship, work through difficulties or to work with a relationship ending. I also offer EMDR with couples.
