My Philosophy
Relationship is at the heart of what I do. I am not a 'purist' blank screen reflecting your questions back to you. In fact, many clients come to me having had 'purist' therapists, now seeking connection, answers to their questions, a sense of direction, tangible progress and most importantly, a clear understanding of themselves. People are inherently knowledgeable, making old-school listening therapy insufficient. Instead, I provide evidence-based Integrative Psychotherapy that is both proactive and relational.
My Approach
Within our confidential space, we work collaboratively to explore the root causes of your concerns, strategies and solutions. I often help individuals in three core areas:
Emotion & Compulsions: managing Anxiety, Anger, Rumination, Depression, Stress, OCD, ADHD, Pervasive Mood Patterns and Overwhelm.
Family Patterns-Dynamics: historic trauma, cultural aspects, Narcissistic and Schizoid wounding, the alienated-rejected or infantilised child.
Relationship Dynamics: personal, parental or work-based relationships, pervasive patterns, betrayal, affairs, rupture, separation, psychosexual and mixed cultures.
Whilst therapy is a serious endeavour, I also believe in the value of light-hearted humour as part of the psychotherapy process and value the clients own innate knowledge.
What I Offer
In today’s world, there is a shortage of very senior, experienced therapists, with many newly trained practitioners emerging—polished but often lacking in skill. I provide psychotherapy backed by 30 years of senior expertise. Almost three decades of experience enables 'intuitive knowing' and 'heuristic judgement'. This is both accurate assessment and appropriate adjustment in the immediacy of the moment, ensuring time is not wasted, as can happen with inexperienced therapists; and allows for rapid growth by getting to the nitty-gritty in a shorter amount of time. My clients are regularly surprised by the progress within a session. I offer a range of Therapeutic Options (see page) to suit differing needs and circumstances.
