Gaining this knowledge and conscious awareness enables personal development, growth and change.

It is very much a collaborative process with the mutual goal of working to establish pathways to achieve positive change and wellbeing. My approach to therapy is integrative which means that I work using various psychotherapeutic disciplines such as, Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, CBT, Transactional Analysis, Gestalt, Narrative and Creative Therapy.
