My Approach

As a systemic family therapist I am interested in hearing about people in the context of their relationships and communities. I am a warm and approachable person. I offer a supportive, therapeutic relationship where people can talk about issues important to them and where we can think together about what you would like to be different and what you value and want to keep. I am used to working with families, couples, individuals and teams of professionals and want to hear everybody's views and work with you and your resources in a way that fits for you.
I ask questions to try and help you find new perspectives and understandings. I will regularly review with you what you find useful or not about how we work together.
