Further information

What is my approach?

My core qualification is in Integrative Psychotherapy. This means that we will work together to integrate and unite the different elements of your affective, cognitive, behavioural and physiological states. We all have different parts of ourselves which have developed through our lives. Sometimes, these parts are not working well together, or do not serve us as well as we would like in the present day. Integrative Psychotherapy looks to our whole experience, seeking to make sense of it, and freeing us to move forwards intentionally and with kindness towards ourselves and towards others. 

All our work will take place within a context of relational attunement, empathy, non- judgement and compassion. Psychotherapy with me will offer you the space to be fully seen and heard. It will allow you to connect with who you really are, and to begin to thrive both within yourself and in the world.
