My approach to delivering therapy is very much centred on the principles of solution-focused and Person Centred therapy. These approaches start from the assumption that the individual already has the potential to move forward and overcome any barriers, challenges and difficulties they are facing.

Where appropriate, I also draw on mindfulness, music and a range of strategies and techniques that have been developed through additional training and over 4 years’ experience of being a therapist.

It has been my privilege to work with a wide variety of different people and help them to move forward. This has meant I have developed my skills to work with a diverse range of difficulties and desires in a therapeutic capacity. In particular long term health conditions, pain, relationship difficulties, anxiety difficulties, depression, and trauma.

Our work together will always start from an exploration of what it is you hope to get out of therapy. From this starting point, we will work together collaboratively, enabling you both to feel heard and to gain a sense of moving forward.

We will frequently review your progress towards your desired outcomes and the approach we take each session will be modified to reflect developments in your thoughts and feelings as time goes on.

Our first session will focus on understanding and exploring what your best hopes are from the therapeutic work. This means I’ll be asking you to tell me what it is you are hoping to be different as a result of our therapy together and encouraging you to develop this vision in some detail. I will not be asking you for a history of your problems, although it is up to you how much you want to talk about these. I see my role in our first session as helping you to formulate more fully your own ideas about what you want instead of your problems, so that we can begin the process of helping you to move towards this.
