About me
I offer Psychotherapy to adults, children and young people. My approach is shaped around the individual and how they are feeling and what they are needing in each moment. I generally don't offer guidance. I prefer to be seated on the same side of the table as we embark on the therapeutic journey together.
My background is working with SEN young people in schools and my training is in Educational Psychotherapy. This means that the therapy I provide today can expand beyond typical talking therapy if we needed to. We can use creative tools such as drawing, free writing, or play if I am working with children, to help us explore what could be going on and try to make sense of it together.
My training is based on Psychoanalytical theory, which means that I will be interested in what could be going on in the unconscious mind. I will be interested in the individuals context and early memories that shaped the person they are today.
