I have worked with adults with a wide range of presenting issues through both short and long term work.
My aim is to meet you with respect and empathy, valuing your uniqueness, individuality and way of being in the world, offering a non-judgemental, safe environment. I strive to offer a therapy tailored to your needs and consider confidentiality and trust to be of the upmost importance. You may share personal, difficult thoughts and feelings with me and in doing so can expect that details and your personal identity will remain confidential.
Areas of Specialism
I have a specialist interest in resolving trauma; complex trauma, PTSD and early relational trauma. I also have particular experience of working with anxiety, depression, panic attacks and phobias. Low self-esteem, sexual and domestic abuse, childhood trauma, trauma, anger and relational issues. Self- harm, suicidal ideation and addiction.
Personal Approach
My approach is Integrative drawn from a relational developmental model. Relational psychotherapy is a broad way of understanding human motivation and the process of therapy itself. I integrate object relations theories, psychoanalytic self-psychology and aspects of humanistic psychology. Drawing from a blend of different theories allows me to work with a therapy personal to you and your needs. Working in this way not only allows for understanding of how past experiences shaped you but also for experiencing in the here and now. The uniqueness of a theraputic relationship means another person being available to you with no preconceptions of you or agenda, only to be in relationship with you and help guide you in your right direction.
