What working together might look like
I am trained as an integrative therapist, allowing me to use a range of therapeutic tools to fit your individual needs and therapeutic goals. I believe it is important to view each person as a whole; therefore, my approach allows me to work holistically.
Depending on what makes sense to you, I will use a blend of therapeutic approaches:​​
By reflecting back your thinking and asking questions we will process your experiences, helping you to gain clarity and deepen self-awareness before creating realistic goals and positive changes.
​
I think the best therapeutic work comes from a strong client-therapist relationship and so this will form part of our work together. Our relationship will be based on trust and mutual respect to enable an honest, non-judgemental environment. The work may, at times, be challenging as it can involve looking at and changing deep-rooted beliefs and behaviours which requires ongoing and open commitment.
​
We can work together face-to-face in my garden office, pictured above, via Zoom or over the phone.
