My Approach

My approach will be very shaped by the person I am working with and the issues that bought them to me. I have over the years completed many different forms of therapy and also worked in many different environments. I feel it is essential to adapt the approach I take in collaboration with the client needs and requirement.

The service I provide includes assessment of psychological need, short to medium term psychotherapy for individuals and couples. I also facilitate personal development groups. I currently provide psychotherapy consultations remotely but hope to reinstate seeing clients face to face before long (as covid numbers begin to level out).
Unfortunately, I am no longer able to take on supervisee's or clients with longer term mental health requirements.

I feel privileged to be able to do the work I do. To meet with people and support them through life changes is the essence of my work. I believe that true change comes from developing trust and working together. The client or group brings their experiences and I bring mine and together find a way of moving forward.
