My Method & Style
I am an experienced integrative therapist using the theories of Person Centred, Psychodynamic and Existential thinking with an element of CBT. The fusion of these differing modalities has formed a contemporary, flexible and non-biased approach to counselling.
Sometimes life can present us with things that we feel unable to deal with and can leave us feeling anxious, depressed, lacking in self esteem and many other varied emotions.
Within a safe and confidential environment I will support you 1:1 through your self exploration and help you to gain confidence in your own abilities. We will work in a collaborative, empathic and caring partnership. Looking at your past, your relationships, behaviours and habits, gently challenging and seeking a deeper sense of self. Allowing for the possibility of change will help to give you back control over your anxieties and to move forward with a more positive sense of self.
