Hello and thank you for visiting my website.
Please know that I care deeply about the therapeutic experience of my clients. My approach is person centred, strengths based and acknowledges we are more than our wounds. Experience has taught me that each of us is our own expert [the answers lie within] and with appropriate guidance, we can heal, grow and realise our potential. 

Counselling and therapy

I have 15+ years' experience working as a counsellor and psychologist. My approach may best be described as psycho-educational, and my practice is informed by multiple modalities including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Therapy, Schema theory, Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and Psychodynamic theory including Gestalt.

Additionally, my work with couples is informed by the Gottman Method and Solutions Focussed Therapy. 

Because effective therapy involves learning and because most learning requires repetition, all sessions are followed by a post session email from me. This email highlights the key ideas covered in your session and may be used by you to consolidate your understanding and advance your progress between sessions.

You are invited to provide feedback along the way - to ensure your therapy goals are being met and to check you are satisfied with the approach.  Adjustments are made in keeping with your preferences and emerging needs. It's all about you.
