What do I do as a therapist?

My key skill is in listening…that’s really listening and hearing, seeing you, empathising with your feelings. It’s then my role to facilitate you in finding your own solutions, helping you increase your self-awareness and realise that you have choices.

My main way of working is based on the Integrative model and I am also able to use a wide range of techniques and theories, tailoring my approach to suit you. Some examples include Person Centred Therapy, Psychodynamics, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy . In addition, I am a qualified hypnotherapist and find this can often complement our counselling / psychotherapy work.

I work within a Pluralistic framework which means I recognise that individuals respond better to a treatment plan that is tailored to their individual needs. The client is continually consulted and has complete control over the methods and process that works best for them, ensuring empathy, congruency and unconditional positive regard.
