ABOUT THERAPY
INTEGRATIVE THERAPY
My approach is integrative meaning that I work flexibly, drawing on a range of tools and approaches to best suit you as an individual, with a strong emphasis on our relationship. I’m influenced by various theories, philosophies and modalities including: relational, psychodynamic, transpersonal, humanistic, behavioural.
INTERNAL FAMILY SYSTEMS THERAPY
One of the theories I draw on is Internal Family Systems. I believe IFS is a transformative tool that conceives of every human being as a system of protective and wounded inner parts led by a core Self. Just like members of a family, inner parts are forced from their valuable states into extreme roles within us. Self is in everyone. It can’t be damaged. It knows how to heal.
MY APPROACH
I am here to work with you along a journey to explore your experiences, unconscious thoughts, feelings and behaviours by providing you with a safe space, free from judgement and discrimination. This will enable you to have a greater insight into who you are, with the confidence and the clarity to tackle issues facing you so that you are able to thrive.
A JOURNEY
Clients have described me as genuine and caring, easy to talk to and a clear communicator.
My approach is warm and authentic, putting what’s best for you at the heart of our work together to create the positive impact you want to see. I am empathic and will build a connection with you as an individual so that you feel seen, heard and empowered. I will meet you where you are at, understanding you as a unique individual with your own life experiences and perspectives. I will offer you both high challenge and high support so that you will feel encouraged, strengthened and nurtured, even when we are exploring difficult – perhaps painful – issues together.
