My Approach

As an integrative therapist, I use different therapy methods to best help my clients. With a humanistic approach, I focus on the whole person and their potential to grow. I believe everyone can improve and aim to create a caring, non-judgmental space for you to explore your feelings.

As a relational therapist, I see the therapist-client relationship as crucial. Building trust and connection is key to healing in my view.

As a developmental therapist, I look at how your past experiences, especially from early life, shape your current behaviours and emotions. I help you understand these influences to better address present issues.

Overall, I blend these approaches to support you in a holistic, caring, and personalised way, focusing on growth, connection, and understanding.

The Power of Therapy
'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
