Therapeutic Approach
I put a strong emphasis on understanding oneself through emotional awareness, as I see emotions as signals for our needs. I try to bring together a broad range of therapies, as I recognise that different approaches resonate with different people. I also put a lot of focus on meaning and narrative, exploring what made us the person we are today and where we would like to be going.
Client Experience
I try to ensure that my clients feel accepted no matter what, and that whatever they are struggling with is valid and surmountable. I endeavour to be as authentic as possible, as I want my clients to feel comfortable and relaxed, and that they can trust that I’m a genuine and caring force, willing to fight for their wellbeing.
