My Approach

My approach is transpersonal which is a holistic integrative approach taking into consideration our whole being. Transpersonal means beyond the personal and the ego. This approach goes deeper and beyond our problems. It looks to the essence of our being and the potential contained within this. I draw upon a variety of therapeutic techniques to best support your individual needs.
 
These include person centred therapy, which values the therapeutic relationship in helping instigate change, cognitive behavioural therapy which looks at unhelpful behaviour and thought patterns, psychodynamic therapy which encompasses early life issues, existential therapy which examines the lived experience of being human. I offer trauma therapy focusing on somatic experiencing and creative work, such as visualisations and dreamwork.

Therapy involves a willingness to change and a readiness to go beyond the familiar. Whilst it can be challenging, it can be rewarding, discovering new potentials within us leading to the unfolding of a fulfilling life.  During times of uncertainty and when faced with the unknown, therapy provides invaluable support in enabling one to make decisions from a place of strength rather than a place of fear. The fundamental truth about therapy, whatever the approach, is that it is the relationship that heals. The ability to truly listen is the power to be truly present.
