My integrative approach incorporates a number of ways to help my client to uncover hidden emotions which are affecting them now. I use Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Transactional Analysis, Person Centred and Hypnotherapy approaches. The initial session takes the form of an assessment in which I discuss with you whether we can work usefully together.
I believe you know more about yourself than anyone else does. However sad, confused, lost or desperate you feel you have the potential to find out who you are and what you want to do. By establishing an empathic, safe and supportive therapeutic environment I will guide you towards clarifying what your aims and objectives are and then towards achieving them. I will be non-judgemental and will accompany you on your journey, offering you understanding and encouragement so that we can leave the past where it belongs and help you develop healthier strategies for your life from now on.Qualifications & Training I gained the following qualifications over 4 years:
