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. I often help individuals in three core areas: Emotion Control, particularly in managing Anxiety, Anger, Rumination, and Overwhelm; Complex Family Patterns usually resulting from historic trauma; and Relationship Management, which includes personal, parental and work-based relationships, especially in the context of Narcissistic wounding. While therapy is a serious endeavour, I also believe in the value of light-hearted humour as part of the psychotherapy process.
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. My approach involves intuitive knowing that facilitates heuristic judgement: accurate assessment and appropriate adjustment in the immediacy of the moment. This ensures that 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. Additionally, I offer short term Therapeutic Groups and Couples Discernment Therapy as optional therapeutic experiences.
