I offer therapy in a way that can help you to explore your feelings about every aspect of your life. Most psychologists and therapists agree that the relationship between the therapist and the client is the most therapeutic aspect and especially in this approach, the healing process can be seen clearly. Therapy is not a one size fits all as we are all unique hence I work in an integrative way combining approaches to ensure maximum effectiveness in practice. To read more about the types of therapy I offer read the “Types of Therapy” pages. I am trained in all of those approaches.
As a therapist I do not judge or criticize in any way. My aim is to help you feel empowered and strong enough to maintain your emotional states adequately.
I believe wholeheartedly that everybody has the right to be heard, understood and respected regardless of their background. The right to feel valued and not judged. The right to feel loved, to belong and be accepted by others.
We all have a sense of what is right for us and often strive to achieve what is best for us. However sometimes we need a little help along the way as life’s challenges can get too much. Any difficulties or issues you bring can be worked through together with an emphasis on your needs, wishes and desires. Together we can find a way forward that promotes personal growth and restores balance in your life.
I have a vast experience of working with children, families and professionals from various different backgrounds due to previous careers helping troubled families spanning over 25 years. I bring these years of knowledge and support with me to enhance the therapeutic services offered. I incorporate Sandplay and Story Telling as techniques when working with children and teenagers.
