The therapeutic process
During weekly one-to-one sessions, I can support you to find out more about who you are and what you want. I provide a safe, respectful and empathic space where we can work together creatively to understand what you’re going through. We will explore your thoughts, feelings, attitudes, behaviours and imagination to understand the issues that are making life difficult right now, and to discover your hopes for the future and how to get there. I believe that exploring the unfolding relationship between the therapist and client is a crucial part of the therapeutic process as this can be an opportunity to build trust and awareness, talk about what’s challenging and try out new ways of being.
My approach
In my practice, I use a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to suit the needs of each individual client, and may draw on techniques including guided imagery, meditation, gestalt therapy, breath work, art therapy, journalling and creative dialogue. I also pay attention to physical sensations and may use body awareness techniques and movement in our work.
