My Approach

I am an Integrative Psychotherapist providing a safe and confidential space for the exploration of feelings and thoughts. I respect everyone is unique and has their own way of engaging with this process. In the therapy sessions, I draw on a range of theory and resources, including Gestalt, Psychodynamic and Transactional Analysis approaches. It is my belief that through engaging with therapy one can achieve a better understanding of self, feel more fulfilled and make the most of life.

I have helped people suffering from severe anxiety and depression, addictive behaviours, past trauma, abusive relationships, family and work stresses, physical illness and people with complex mental health diagnosis such as BPD, PTSD and C-PTSD.

The initial session will be an opportunity for both of us to introduce ourselves and explore the areas that could be the focus of the therapeutic work. This will allow us to reach an agreement in the type of support that will be suitable and could take the form of establishing goals or allowing space to see what might emerge later in therapy.

Alongside traditional talking therapy, and for clients who wish to engage with the arts, I offer the use of other modes of creative and artistic expression. This can provide further and useful insight, resonance and self-understanding. Often this will involve drawing or painting a picture to express a thought or feeling. Other times it could be listening to music, looking at postcard images or engaging with imagination exercises. You do not need to have any experience to be able to benefit with this aspect of the therapy, nor is using the arts imperative to your therapy sessions.
