We all need a space where we can say out loud the things we are thinking
Sometimes we just need to be silent and know we are understood. Other times we may need to rage against the pain and injustice we have tasted. And all in a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship.
I am an integrative Person Centred Psychotherapist. This means that your needs are at the heart of my practice. Foundational to everything I do is a passionate, evidence based commitment, to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. This relationship is founded on deep empathy, my authentic openness and unconditional acceptance for who you are.
For some clients, CBT can be transformative, offering a solution focused approach, helping to change the way we think and behave.
As well as individual therapy, I have worked with couples who have hit challenging issues in their relationships, exploring a new way of being with each other.
I also have extensive training and experience in helping people navigate the dark journey of grief and loss.
My advice
I have been involved in helping people all my working life. This is my passion. I believe that every life has meaning, even when we feel we have lost everything. Therapy provides a safe and strong place to explore our dark places and find new ways of being.
About ten years ago, I came across the work of Carl Rogers and this changed my life. Through his research as a psychologist, he identified the core conditions necessary for therapeutic personality change. Powerful empathy needs to flow so we feel understood. The counsellor needs to be warm, authentic and open to their client. And the counsellor needs to have unconditional positive regard for their client. This is the gold standard and I aim for it in every session.
I have also trained as a CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) practitioner, a powerful and evidence based approach that can be transformative where clients are troubled by trauma, anxiety, depression and deep seated behavioural and emotional issues.
