My Approach

As an Relational Integrative Therapist I draw upon a range of different schools of research, theory and practice to provide a flexible form of therapy. This therapy reflects developmental, psychoanalytic, existential, humanistic and transpersonal traditions. Integrative Therapy can feel more inclusive as there is often more choice of how to proceed and as we go below the surface to make aspects and patterns of ourselves more conscious, and articulate their experience, concerns and needs.

Together we explore, focus and prioritise your needs and create a working relationship that is at the heart of therapy. 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. You will find your therapist shares more of themselves and their experience of you.

Undertaking relational therapy is often medium to long terms work and requires commitment and co-operation that underpins all effective helping.
