About Me and My Practice
As an experienced practitioner, I offer a nurturing environment where you will be listened to, valued and accepted as a person with unique needs.
I am an integrative therapist, which means I draw on a range of counselling models, including Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Person-centred therapy, aiming to customise therapy to your needs. I offer face-to-face, online and telephone therapy sessions.
People come to therapy for a wide range of reasons. You may have experienced relational wounding, as a child or within adult life – and now, you are trying to live with the ongoing pain and reactions these wounds cause. I seek to offer a safe therapeutic space to reflect on and process the stories that surround relational wounding.
You may have identified habitual relationship patterns. In therapy we can explore how you work within relationships and how this has developed, aiming to support you to build relational confidence and develop responses that are understood and desired.
From experience as a counsellor, I have become aware how profoundly the understandings that we hold about ourselves and others impacts our thoughts, beliefs, emotions and choices. Exploring these areas of life can open up new choices and approaches to life issues as you develop self-knowledge.
In counselling we can also explore how your body and behaviours hold and are impacted by past experiences and how these experiences continue to be present. Sometimes, we can feel stuck in ways of being and feel unsure how to change what can feel like controlling patterns. In counselling we can explore this experience, aiming that you can move beyond just surviving, to living a fuller life.
So, as we work together in counselling, it is a collaborative process, where I will seek to support you in your holistic, therapeutic journey.
Many people are happy to work with talking therapies. However, some people would like to explore their narrative using creativity.
Creativity Within Therapy
Using creativity in therapy is not about creating a masterpiece of art – it is about finding a way to support the process of knowing yourself and your story more.
Sometimes finding words to describe experiences can be challenging, especially when these experiences were or are very painful or it is difficult to remember aspects of them.
If this is your experience, creativity can help you to tell and explore the narrative you hold about yourself.
