I believe that every client is unique and never use a 'one size fits all' approach.
I use a range of evidence-based psychological theory and models to develop a plan for therapy that suits your individual needs, goals, and preferences, after completing a collaborative and comprehensive assessment of your needs.
I understand that starting therapy can feel daunting. We will explore the issues that have brought you here at a pace that you feel comfortable with. I strive to create a safe and non-judgemental environment where clients feel accepted for who they are, with our therapeutic relationship at the centre of our work.
I use private, comfortable and convenient rooms for face to face work. I recognise that the environment can play an important part in ensuring that clients feel at ease, and safe to share their thoughts and feelings. If you prefer, we can have our sessions online.
"We can all have these moments in our life where you have a tangled ball of wool in your head and my role is to, sort of help you just kind of, begin to untangle it. And then, lay it out as one piece of wool in front of you, and then look at where the knots are. And then we can sort of identify them and decide which knots we can live with and which knots maybe we want to do a little bit more work to undo" - Tanya Byron
