I work from a blend of Person-Centred and Psychodynamic principles and work in a flexible way depending on the client's individual needs. This offers not only the opportunity to think about change but to also move towards it. As a Psychotherapist, I view the therapeutic relationship as an avenue to facilitate exploration, develop insight, growth and emotional healing using a variety of resources. This in turn can enable a person to improve their emotional and psychological health, social relationships and overall wellbeing. I use an embodied approach to Psychotherapy as I believe that both the mind and the body simultaneously or interchangeably experience trauma or other psychological issues. If it feels appropriate for the client, we can include creative work through the use of objects, art or movement as these can often help to express unconscious thoughts and feelings thereby aid progress towards therapeutic change.
