My Approach

I use an integrative counselling approach. I find that each client is unique and individual and I will work with whatever works best for you as the client. 

The main modalities I use are:

Person Centered Therapy

You’ll be encouraged to bring your own issues to the session – the counselling is led by you and not directed by myself.

I will help you to explore your own issues, feelings, beliefs, behaviour, and worldview, so you can become more self-aware and achieve greater independence.

​

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

CBT is based on the concept that your thoughts, feelings, physical sensations and actions are interconnected, and that negative thoughts and feelings can trap you in a negative cycle. 

I will help you to work out how to change unhelpfull thoughts and behaviours. I will also teach you useful and pratical strategies that can be used in everyday life.

​

Psychodynamic Therapy

Psychodynamic therapy helps you understand how your current feelings and behaviour are shaped by your past experiences and your unconscious mind and impulses.

I will help you look at the past and how that is influencing your present situation.
