My Approach

I believe that people can gain strength through change with and alongside others and that my job as a therapist is to support and assist that change. I work collaboratively with individuals, couples and families across the life span and aim to provide a calm space where differing thoughts and feelings can be safely explored.
I take 'family' to describe any group of people who define themselves as such and am happy to work with whoever you identify as important to you. I acknowledge the importance of people's different beliefs, cultures, contexts and life experience and will adapt my way of working according the family members' ages, needs, resources and preferences.
