Tell me your story so we may work together to influence its direction. But before you book your free 15-minute phone consultation, please review the breadth and depth of my experience and training.I am an integrative practitioner, which means I am trained in a range of psychological approaches and use my expertise to integrate the model(s) of therapy that work best for you. My approach is also philosophically pluralistic so I keep an open mind when working with you, aiming to understand how you wish to work, and offering recommendations and guidance so we can collaboratively create a treatment plan that is individualised to your needs and goals.I respect diversity, having worked with individuals of varying backgrounds, ages, cultures, and complexity, and am highly ethical, holding memberships with, and guided by the ethics of the BPS, BACP, and SEA.Another important aspect of my practice is the therapeutic relationship. Research shows that our relationship can be even more important than the therapeutic approach, unsurprising when we consider how we are always in relation with others. It is with this intention I have often observed success with my clients.I will attempt to facilitate a relationship of trust, such that you do not feel misjudged and feel my genuine empathy. This is a unique space where you will feel heard, held, and safe. Here I hope to encourage open and honest dialogue, to explore your concerns, anxieties, pain, trauma, or sadness, and uncover issues you might normally avoid because they feel threatening. This safe confrontation will allow you to learn how to process your challenges in a helpful way which is incredibly powerful, changing how you relate to yourself, others, and your world, thereby offering movement toward healing, growth, and.....joy.
