It is my priority is that you have a space in therapy where you feel able to explore and find a supportive way forward.
'Integrative' therapy includes a wide range of methods, underpinned by a breadth and depth of theoretical training. This range of ideas and possibilities form a 'toolkit' which can be tailored to approach your individual requirements. Therapy with me can involve looking at your past circumstances to reflect upon your experiences, or you may choose to work through your current situation with a goal oriented style making use of worksheets. I have seen the benefits of different approaches.
Experienced in supporting clients a wide range of challenges including :
anxiety ; depression; identity questions; sexual difficulties; life stage concerns; family and relationships problems; bereavement; menopause; chronic illness; work-related stress
