Individual Therapy
It takes courage to engage in therapy yet it can feel a bit daunting at first. It is a space for you, within which I encourage you to bring yourself as you are and where you can expect to be heard, understood, supported and also challenged in order to get through a difficult time or get closer to the change you want in your life.
Couple Therapy
Often, one of the couple is more ready or motivated to address marital issues and may initiate the process. The initial task consists of getting both parties on board and clarifying expectations while respecting apparent differences. The therapy will help uncover and resolve the couple dynamics and address underlying unmet needs.
Supervision
Supervision is a fundamental reflective space for newly qualified and experienced practitioners alike. Through meaningful contact, both supervisor and supervisee can be with and tolerate uncertainty, ambiguity, and sometimes discomfort. From there, we can explore and take risks. This is done in a safe, open and collaborative way.
My Approach - Integrative
Integrative means that I have trained in different disciplines and have evolved a style of therapy and supervision which reflects this whilst being my own. I would qualify my approach as being warm, respectful and creative.
​
My work as a Practitioner revolves around five main approaches:
-
Humanistic
-
Psychodynamic
-
Mindfulness-based Cognitive
-
Relational Gestalt
-
Somatic Psychology
​
I hold the core belief that each individual has the ability to develop personal resilience and to become a fulfilled human being. Yet at times, negative experiences get in the way of achieving our full potential and at the worst we feel stuck.
​
During therapy, I aim to provide a safe place where you feel accepted and can talk in confidence without being judged. By enhancing qualities such as choice, creativity and responsibility, I strive to create an environment where you will find your own solutions to the current struggles. This leads to a process of change, which takes place over the sessions.
​
Integrative therapists believe that no single approach works for every client in every situation. As humans we each think, feel and react in different, unique ways. The relationship between the therapist and the client is a crucial element in therapy. So, once we establish some trust, I can work with you to produce a unique therapy that is suited to your needs.
​
In practice, a session lasts 50 minutes and are held on a weekly basis. There are regular reviews of the therapy every few sessions.
Therapy over a period of months rather than weeks often enables you to get deeper self understanding and a greater ability to make meaningful changes to your life.
​
The therapy will challenge you, but will ultimately respect your unique way of understanding and living your life.
