My Approach

I work relationally which means that I view relationships as a key influence on how we all experience the world. I am open to learning about the relationships you have with others and also with yourself and what your feelings about those relationships may be. This may change as our work together work progresses depending on what your hopes and needs may be.

Your therapy may involve thinking about past experiences and how those experiences have impacted you. When this is the case I am committed to keeping our work together grounded in the present and working with what the past feels like and means for you in the here-and-now.

Knowledge is power and I feel passionately about being open to sharing the thinking that informs my work if that is something that feels useful for you. The years of leaning and training I have undertaken have given me a wealth of experience and information that I am very happy to share.

Ultimately I am seeking to work in partnership with you to empower and help you move forward in your life independently and confidently, equipped to face the future whatever it may hold for you. I see it as a privilege to assist with that process.

About Me

The most common aim of therapy is to achieve some kind of change. What this change (or other aims) might be, why it's needed and how it might be achieved are all things that I work in partnership with my clients to identify and then work towards together.

My first experience of therapy, many years ago now, was as a client and this is something I always hold in mind in my work. I know what it is like to seek help and how nerve-wracking that can feel. I value the fact that we are all different and I approach my work with a non-judgemental curiosity which I hope is welcoming and supportive in establishing a strong alliance to explore whatever you choose to bring to your sessions.

It can take time to reach a place of deep and lasting change. It can also be a relief in the short term to have someone to share difficulties with. I am committed to learning about your individual needs to ensure we work at a pace that feels right for you.
