My Approach

A family and systemic psychotherapy approach works with individuals, families and couples who are experiencing difficulties in their relationships. Sessions involve those that are important in your life, such as partners, parents, children, siblings, extended family, friends, and carers. This approach supports you to take different positions to understand each other and enable positive changes in relationships and to improve communication. It also considers the impact of your circumstances, such as childhood experiences, power, financial hardship, race, religion, and culture. This approach focuses on strengths, resilience, and empowerment. The overall aim of this approach is to support everyone’s health and wellbeing, as a whole.

As every family is unique, I draw on a range of systemic theories, models, and approaches. I enjoy working flexibly to suit everyone’s needs, so I adapt my approach to enable all to be involved. I am very respectful, so I seek to encourage those I work with to reflect on our work together as I am open to adapt or change my approach to make the sessions more useful. My approach focuses on enabling us to work together and develop a shared understanding of your goals for intervention.

Sessions are usually for an hour and can range from weekly to fortnightly, depending on the needs of those involved.

I am currently only offering online therapy, usually Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday evenings.
