How I Work

My core training is as an Integrative Counsellor. This includes training in the main models of counselling and psychotherapy – the Humanistic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and the Psychodynamic. Training and working integratively is important to me as it embraces putting the person at the heart of the process. 

​

The Humanistic traditions have over time become by main influence and are the closest to my own heart and personality. With Person Centred, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis (TA) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) being key to the way I work.

 

Working within Humanistic philosophy to me means creating a non-judgmental relationship. Knowing that you are the expert on you and us both taking part in dialogue that is drawn to understanding you and your life. Out of this intention and connection, greater self-knowledge and awareness can grow, if needed, creative solutions can present themselves. And with the right support, changes can be enacted within yourself and your life. 

​

I offer once weekly 50 minute sessions. I don't work to a prescribed number of sessions and will work towards a timely and supportive ending.
