About this Service

The Approach

I am what is known as an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist. This simply means I use a number of different therapeutic approaches, where each client is viewed as an individual with different needs from the therapy process. Whatever your reason for considering therapy I will provide you with a safe, supportive and confidential environment in which to think more deeply about your concerns.

Recognising, that many of the problems, that are difficult to change, can be traced back to the part of the mind, that is outside of our awareness. I am trained to recognise limiting beliefs, and thought patterns that may be holding you back.

I make use of early memories, events and significant relationships to gain a deeper understanding of the person you are, allowing you to recognise where problem thoughts and feelings originate.
