My Approach

I draw upon a range of different ways of working, theory and practice to provide a flexible form of therapy. Integrative therapy reflects many schools of psychotherapy such as 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, and we explore, focus and prioritise your needs and create a working relationship that is at the heart of all our work together. Our working alliance is built on trust; it is unique, and offers acceptance, understanding, change and support. Undertaking relational integrative therapy often involves a medium to long term commitment.

I work mainly in person from Headingley Wellbeing Centre in Leeds. The first session is for 75 minutes to assess your needs and how we might work together. All sessions thereafter are for a full hour.
