My Approaches

Therapy as an Interpersonal Art Form

To me, therapy is more than just a profession—it's a profound interpersonal art form that allows me to authentically connect with individuals. I acknowledge the uniqueness of each person's journey and work collaboratively with you to establish treatment goals and develop a personalised plan tailored to your unique needs. While compassion, acceptance, honesty, and integrity serves as the foundation of my practice, I integrate insights from diverse theoretical frameworks to offer a comprehensive approach to healing and growth.

I integrate insights from psychodynamic theories and developmental models, including those pioneered by Freud, Jung and Bowlby's Attachment Therory. These frameworks offer invaluable tools to explore our past, shedding light on present struggles and behavioral patterns shaped by our experiences and subconscious motivations.

Additionally, I incorporate humanistic philosophies from Carl Rogers and Fritz Perls Gestalt Therapy, which emphasize the inherent wisdom within each individual. By fostering conditions of unconditional positive regard, empathy, and congruence, we can reconnect with our authentic selves.

I am also influenced by Somatic Experiencing, Buddhist & Vedic philosophies, as well as Transpersonal Therapy and the work of Assagioli, I embrace holistic approaches that encompass the mind, body, spirit, and emotions in the healing journey. Recognising that trauma and ingrained patterns manifest not only in our minds but also in our bodies, I integrate somatic practices alongside talking therapy to facilitate profound transformation.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I might use techniques from modalities I've extensively trained in, such as Yoga Therapy, Meditation & Mindfulness. These modalities enrich our therapeutic dialogue, providing diverse avenues for exploration and healing.

My clinical practice is a confidential space where you can openly express your thoughts and emotions without fear of judgment. During our sessions, your needs take centre stage, and our discussions remain strictly confidential.

I offer a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to assess our compatibility and ensure alignment with your therapeutic goals. Should you choose to embark on this journey with me, we'll start with an 'assessment' or 'initial consultation,' offering a comprehensive exploration of your concerns and determining our suitability for continued collaboration. I find that dedicating time to these initial meetings allows us to establish rapport and tailor our approach effectively.

In line with the guidelines by BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), I engage in ongoing professional supervision to ensure the highest standard of care for my clients. Committed to continual growth, I regularly pursue additional training through counseling courses, workshops, research, and literature review.
