During our work we will start by agreeing a goal together. This ensures, especially in a family or couple, that we are on the same page in regards to the outcome we are working towards. It also allows us to reflect on the goal throughout the work to see how the work has progressed and whether the goal is still one shared by everyone. My work will always be led by you and the outcomes you want to achieve, though I will challenge you from time to time.
If you do contact me we will start our work by having a 15 minute video call to think about what is currently impacting you and what you would like to work on. This will also give you the chance to meet me, find out what our work would look like and get a feeling of whether I would be the right fit for you. I currently work as part of the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) as part of the NHS and have space to see client’s privately on a Monday.
I am a qualified Systemic and Family Psychotherapist and Social worker with over 13 years of experience working with individuals and families. Through our work I will offer a space to talk confidentially about the issues may be facing, think with you about the sources of these and seek out opportunities for change through understanding and self-discovery. I work in a way that focuses on relationships and interactions and how these impact upon your sense of self, potentially maintain the problems you experience and also provide the opportunity for change. This can be by looking at generational patterns passed down to us through our families and how these stories, especially in relationships, impact how we relate to one another. I use an approach that is non-blaming which aims to move the problem from being situated in a person to being placed in your system or family. This can be particularly useful when working with couples and families as it allows those involved to come together to face the problem together as oppose to placing the blame on an individual.
