My Approach
Although my core orientation is Existential, I am also a qualified Integrative counsellor. This means that I am able to include aspects of therapy from a number of theoretical orientations: Humanistic, Person Centred, Solutions Focused, Cognitve Behavioural Therapy, Time Limited Existential Therapy and Experiential Therapy and dream analysis from an Existential perspective.
Existential Psychotherapy.
The Existential/Integrative approach to Psychotherapy is a detailed exploration of the meaning of life and aims at enhancing your self knowledge. Psychotherapy can provide a safe place for you to explore your thoughts, feelings and emotions in a non-judgmental environment. My aim is to lead you through a journey of self discovery and understanding whilst clarifying your life circumstances and where you want to be in your life. I will encourage you to explore the dilemma's, conflicts, contradictions and issues in your life. The focus is to help you think things through and gain new ideas and perspectives and enable you to evaluate your options and see a way forward. Alongside the issues and concerns you bring to therapy, we will explore the areas you want to change, where would you like to be in your life and what prevents you from getting there. To understand our thoughts and feelings often brings a sense of relief and the opportunity to deal with them more effectively. Existential psychotherapy is a joint venture that provides the opportunity to think together collaboratively about your situatation.
