- My approach -

In short, our therapy would be a collaborative process. It can be short-term, with a more solution, action focus; or long-term, especially if you are looking to explore, understand and transform complex circumstances, aspects of character, or history. 

It is a space for you to express your thoughts and feelings with unconditional acceptance and non-judgement. I will be alongside you, as you explore your life's experiences and aspirations (and frustrations and anger!), and shape your own path forward, building up and upon your own understanding, internal resources and potency to make the changes you want for your life. 

For my part, I engage through a relational integrative approach: meaning I draw from a tapestry of therapeutic models (this includes Psychodynamic, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Person-centred) and genuinely meet you as another human being, as opposed to perhaps a more clinical environment.

Particular areas where I have worked with before include:

Anxiety, depression, bereavement

Relationship issues, separation, divorce

Trauma and PTSD, impact of childhood abuse in adult life

Life transitions - leaving home, redundancy, retirement, childbirth, parental death

Workplace stress, work-life balance, performance anxiety

Existential crisis, feelings of alienation

Childhood issues

Post-natal concerns, including depression

Substance abuse 

Identity & Sexuality
