Profile
Adolescent/ Teenage Issues (current/unresolved) in N7, N4, N8.
I have worked with a variety of issues, particularly current or unresolved adolescent issues. I work in a warm, confidential and safe place with the aim to work through all issues brought to therapy for a manageable life. My Private Practice is set in an empathic and non-judgemental environment in Crouch End where space is created for you to talk, or use the arts to express thoughts and feelings.
My approach is Integrative Art meaning I draw from Gestalt, Transactional Analysis, Humanistic and Psychodynamic approaches, by tailor-making treatment plans to meet the needs of my clients. A therapeutic relationship is gradually formed between my client and I through our work together. During sessions we use the arts (drawing, body movements, story telling, sand tray work, music, sculpture, puppetry and poetry) to help support the process. I aim to offer support and encourage personal development of my clients in a non-judgemental environment. You need not be an artist to use this approach.
