My main theoretical approach is as a Gestalt psychotherapists. I am interested in how we form specific patterns of relating, to both ourselves and others and the impact these have on our current life experiences.
I work with each individual's whole life experience to help them make sense of their presenting issues, develop a wider range of resources and expand their options for dealing with future life events.
I aim to use interventions that relate specifically to the individual, thereby adopting an integrative approach to my work. I have also had experience of utilising Cognitive Behavioural techniques especially in relation to substance misuse and over the years have gathered a range of knowledge that I now tailor to the individual needs of people I work with.
I have over twenty years of clinical experience and have worked within organisations that specialise in resolving complex trauma and addiction issues as well as being self employed in private practice. I recently migrated to Australia from the UK. Over the years I have worked with individuals, couples groups and families although my private practice is largely centred around individuals needing short or long term work.
Like all UKCP registered psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors I can work with a wide range of issues, but here are some areas in which I have a special interest or additional experience.
