My approach
My approach is humanistic and relational. As an Integrative psychotherapist I bring together ideas and ways of working from several schools of thought, in particular my influences are drawn from Gestalt, Carl Rogers (person-centred), Psychodynamic and Existential psychotherapy. Together these different perspectives help me relate to each person from a holistic viewpoint, meaning I pay attention to the many different ways in which human experience is expressed - consciously, unconsciously, physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually.
In addition I offer practical strategies, such as mindfulness, to help you navigate daily life - see Client Resources.
