About me and my therapy practice
Ïã¸ÛÁùºÏ²Ê¾«×¼×ÊÁÏ
I have a strong belief in working in alliance with clients, through creating a safe non judgemental relationship.
I understand how difficult it can be in reaching out for help and I can assure you that I will aim to make you feel as comfortable as possible from the beginning.
My training is in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy and I sometimes employ techniques from Cognitive behavioural therapy wherever suitable.
I strongly believe that in order to heal, change and grow, we need to explore our histories and experiences with compassion and in an environment where our thoughts and feelings are truly heard, understood and respected.

About me and my therapy practice
Therapy is a collaborative process, and I refuse to position myself as an all-knowing authority in your life. Only you can truly understand your own unique experience—what it has been like for you, and what it is like in the present.
My aim is to help you feel as comfortable as possible, so that we may work together in order that your current experiencing of life changes for the better, in what ever that may look like.
I pride myself on being down-to-earth and approachable. I am not easily shocked or surprised by the challenges life can bring, and how we may have learned to cope with them.
Practice description
I offer insight into how past patterns and behaviours, which may have been helpful at one time, may no longer serve you in the same way now.
I employ other therapeutic techniques , (Based on each individual client),such as CBT, DBT, and TA.
I have experience of working with clients from many different walks of life, all with difficulties, that have naturally and understandably affected them in various ways.
My first session
I offer a 30 minute consultation free of charge.
This offers a opportunity for us to explore your difficulties and address any questions you may have.
You will be under no obligation to begin therapy after the consultation.
