My Approach

The way I work is a mix of psychodynamic, integrative and transpersonal. It is often helpful to think about factors which may be outside of normal awareness which may be affecting your thoughts and feelings about problems. Childhood experiences may have an impact, and so might cultural and social environments. Your individual sense of meaning, purpose and values are also important to our work. Central to everything is the therapeutic relationship that we build together.

An important aspect of my approach is to listen to you very carefully, and really hear and understand your concerns. Your life experience is unique, and I will not make assumptions about you or about what I think you are going through. It is essential that you feel fully understood and empathised with. In your story I also seek to hear what it is not being said explicitly, to bring out that which you may be experiencing but are so far unable to put into words.

The most difficult times of our lives can sometimes become the most fruitful, if we can integrate our experiences, thoughts and feelings in an empowering way. We often need the help of another person to accomplish this, and it is this which I hope to help you with.
I usually offer long term work, but can also do short term work and online therapy.

I abide by the ethical and professional guidelines of the UKCP and BAS and have regular supervision. All our sessions are strictly confidential, and my supervisor has no access to your personal details. Your data is kept secure according to GDPR regulations.
