Counselling
During our sessions you will be encouraged to talk about your feelings and emotions to help you gain a better understanding of yourself. The therapeutic relationship will give you a safe space to be your authentic self without judgement or criticism.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
CBT aims to help you deal with overwhelming problems in a more positive way by breaking them down into smaller parts. It focuses on current problems rather than issues from the past. Learning how to change negative thought patterns will improve the way you feel and as a result, change your behaviours. It is particularly effective with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, phobias and PTSD. The work will provide you with a tool kit to take forwards with you through life.
Psychotherapy
If you are suffering from psychological problems that have built up over the course of a long period of time then psychotherapy can be beneficial for you. It is a longer-term process of treatment that identifies emotional issues and the background to problems and difficulties. It will help you to understand your thoughts feelings and actions more clearly.
My Approach
As an integrative therapist I believe that every client is unique, so I adapt my approach to suit the individual.
Working in this way means that I draw upon a number of different approaches in my work with clients, depending on what each individual needs.
​
I believe the client is the expert of their own world, and everyone has an inner ability to change and grow.
My aim is to empower and motivate you to make the changes you wish to make in life.
