MY APPROACH
I offer both long-term therapy and shorter-term counselling to adults from 18 years old, both face-to-face and online. No one is the same, so my approach is individually tailored to each client and their own unique needs.
I use the highly accessible and inclusive framework of Transactional Analysis to help my clients better understand themselves and other people. I also draw on principles from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness among other approaches and philosophies so I can be flexible and adaptive. As part of this personalised approach, I will be empathically attuned to clients in the therapy space, paying close attention to what happens between us.
I have a particular interest in the link between mental well-being and social factors, as well as trauma and childhood family dynamics. I explore with clients how these intersect, bringing a greater level of understanding to their experience and responses in the present. With understanding comes choice and freedom. I also have a wealth of experience supporting people struggling with addiction and other damaging behaviours from my professional background.
