Therapy

Different people, at different stages of life will have different problems and are best helped by an approach that takes all this into account. My training allows me a breadth of approach that I believe can help most people. Having said that, research suggests that the quality of relationship between client and therapist is the best indicator of therapeutic success. 

I am an experienced therapist used to working with people from a wide diversity and with a range of mental health problems. My experience for over a decade was primarily as a university counsellor working with young people and members of staff. However, I have also worked for GP practices and for charities.   

I am accredited in Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) which is particularly relevant if you find that you recognise patterns in your relationships which leave you feeling dissatisfied, unhappy or trapped in ever-repeating cycles.

I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), a therapy particularly helpful in resolving past trauma and its impact on how we see ourselves and on our resilience to cope with life’s stresses.

My fundamental training is in the person-centred approach, which helps me to see the individual rather than the problem they are experiencing and help them to realize their potential for a more fulfilling life.
