Profile

Do you find that the same things keep going wrong for you? Do wish to change any unhelpful patterns or unwanted behaviour in your life? Perhaps I can help you. I am an Integrative Psychotherapist and I see individual clients at my home in Cambridge.

I have been trained in the Humanistic tradition and usually use a client-centred approach. This means I approach all my clients in a non-judgemental and empathic manner, respecting that everyone has a right to be heard and also that every individual has within them the key to their own destiny. When appropriate I also employ more directive strategies, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

In my work I integrate: Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, CBT, Attachment theory and Jungian analysis.
As part of my method of working, I use arts media and imagery when appropriate and only if the client feels comfortable with this. Arts media which may be used are: painting, drawing, writing, clay, dream imagery, sandtray work and collage. These media can be very powerful when working with emotions, problem-solving and relationship issues ( amongst other things).

When a new client is referred to me I usually arrange an intial appointment where there will be the opportunity for us to discuss the issues which have brought them for counselling. If we both feel we would like to proceed with the counselling then we agree to 5 further sessions. The 6th session will be an opportunity to review how the work is proceeding and to decided whether more work needs to be done. Sometimes just 6 sessions will be enough to address the problems, in other cases longer term work is required.
