MY APPROACH

I work with individuals and with groups. As an Integrative therapist, I draw on various theoretical models in order to tailor an approach to suit you:

​

  • Humanistic / Person-centred—you're the expert on you, so sessions are led by what you bring. I provide empathy, compassion and guidance to support your growth.

  • Psychodynamic—drawing out difficult and/or unconscious feelings and patterns of behaviour to enable change. Acknowledging the impact of early relationships on the ways in which we relate to one another and to ourselves.

​

I might also draw inspiration from:

​

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) - helping you to develop coping strategies.

  • Creative therapies - expressing in a way that works for you.

  • Mindfulness - exploring grounding techniques and ways to calm the body and mind, and feel more present.

​

I believe it is important to acknowledge power structures, and intersecting oppressions (such as race, class, gender, disability and sexuality) and their impact on clients' mental health.
