About me
I am an experienced psychotherapist offering psychotherapy, clinical supervision and executive coaching.
In my work I combine a supportive, non-judgemental style with being appropriately challenging creating an environment that is accepting and empowering.
As a clinician, I draw on a set of complimentary theories in psychotherapy aiming to facilitate change and growth. My approach is relational, meaning I see the relationship between client and therapist as a vital aspect the therapeutic process and outcome. My work is collaborative and respectful of the client’s pace and inner resources and I work towards forming a relationship based on mutual trust in a safe and confidential environment.
I have many years of experience in the fields of therapy, group work and applied psychology and have been formally trained in psychotherapy, supervision and leadership coaching. I am experienced in working with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues.
