Thus, ensuring you can discuss your preferences and together we work towards you achieving your therapeutic aims & goals. I use varied client led interventions which can include person-centred, solution focused, brief and psychodynamic therapy.I can also use creative therapies which may consist of poetry, art, or sand tray therapy. I find being able to work with a variety of mediums allows my clients to express their emotions when they find voicing their feelings difficult.First-hand personal experience of the care system from being in care myself, to then becoming a foster carer and qualified Social Worker, has allowed me to truly empathise with those of similar experience. These experiences have also given me an understanding of the importance of being truly heard, accepted for who you are and having a safe space in which to share concerns and worries.
