About me and my therapy practice

Therapy is about internal change for the better - discovering more satisfying and richer ways of living. Through compassionate and curious self-exploration of all our parts, we can achieve a clearer understanding of ourselves - how and why we do things. Through this process, alongside empathic and accepting conditions, therapeutic change is possible.

Practice description

I am mainly a Person Centred/Existential therapist working within a pluralistic framework. Person Centred therapy is a non-directive approach, believing that open and honest communication heals. It’s about trusting in our potential, resources and creativity to make the right choices, even in adverse times. In other words we are the experts on ourselves, even if we don’t feel that we are.

The pluralistic framework begins with ethics and how therapy is set up. Your ideas, knowledge and experience are just as important as the therapist’s. Respect, equality and collaboration are the core elements - striving for flexibility in responding to your needs, using different approaches, with the view that it is unlikely that one single approach to therapy is right for everyone. People require different things at different times, and by working collaboratively, goals can be reached in a way that is best suited to you.
