My approach to Counselling is person-centred and integrative – this means that I am guided by your concerns and your goals for therapy and draw from a range of models which are most appropriate for you.  

 

Most importantly, I offer a therapeutic relationship within which you can work through difficulties, understand yourself better, and enliven your relationship with yourself and others. 

​

In our work together, I don't criticise or offer advice, but I will listen carefully to you, help you express your thoughts and feelings and make sense of your experiences. 

 

My core theoretical model is Transactional Analysis and I also draw on current models of Grief therapy, Trauma therapy, and Existential therapy.

 

I also utilise creative, non-verbal ways of working such as imagery, Sand tray, art materials, stories and Mindfulness.

 

I continue to be interested in how unconscious body experiences such as symptoms, sexuality, body image, sensations, posture and movement can communicate vital information and, where appropriate, I work with non-touch interventions to help integrate ‘embodied knowledge’ into the healing process. 

​

It is always a client’s choice to work in ways that they are comfortable with and find useful.

 

Together we will seek out what you need in order to find new clarity, empowerment and the possibility of joy.
