My Approach

I believe it is important to create a good and trusting therapeutic relationship in order to allow space for change. I use a number of techniques from narrative therapies to elements of DBT, CBT and compassionate based therapies amongst others. Due to my experience as a children and families social worker I am experienced in working with complex difficulties with compassion and empathy. This client led/collaborative approach is hoped to support you to discover and develop the strengths you already have and use everyday. As a systemic psychotherapist I am relationship focused. This not only includes your closest interpersonal relationships but how you relate to the world around you in different contexts.
