My Approach

I draw upon a range of different schools of research, theory and practice to provide a flexible form of therapy. Integrative therapy reflects developmental, psychoanalytic, existential, humanistic and transpersonal traditions. This type of therapy can feel more inclusive as there is often more choice of how to proceed.

The therapy I offer is relationally based. Together we explore, focus and prioritise your needs and create a working relationship that is at the heart of therapy. We will go below the surface to make aspects of ourselves more conscious and increase self awareness. Our working alliance is built on trust. It is unique, and offers acceptance, understanding, a definition of problems and issues, and provides support and challenge as we navigate the work of life changing psychotherapy. In relational therapy you will find your therapist shares more of themselves with you, and their experience of you.

Undertaking this type of therapy is often medium to long term work, and requires commitment that underpins all effective helping and change.
