My commitment to you is to provide a warm, empathic, non-judgemental and safe space in which to explore your difficulties.  I believe that self-awareness is key to effecting change and I will facilitate this process; I will walk beside you, metaphorically speaking.

I work in a client centred way since you know yourself better than anyone! Given that every person is different, I will tailor our work in a way that will best support you as the work proceeds. I believe it is helpful to have an overall goal of what you want to achieve from the therapeutic work and that from within this framework you are safe to explore anything that comes up for you in the process.  This may or may not be clear from the outset but will be revisited from time to time and may evolve or change. 

 It’s important that you go at your own pace and feel comfortable sharing your thoughts and feelings when you are ready.

The main theoretical approach that I work with is Transactional Analysis and I draw upon other theories such as Gestalt and Person-Centred Therapy.  I sometimes use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness exercises and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to compliment the talk therapy.

We also have the option of using more creative ways of working together such as through art, music, writing and I’m open to your suggestions too if there is something you feel would assist your process.
