However, I know how people often need considerable encouragement and motivation to make longlasting changes so I see myself as a facilitator of those changes. The way I work therefore is to be alongside you, curious with you about yourself, helping to ask the questions that will get to the heart of what may be causing you concern. I offer you a non-judgmental, safe, confidential space for you to explore these feelings and issues as you work out what changes you want to make in your life and future behaviour. In doing so, I draw on a variety of therapeutic skills to work integratively in a unique way with each client. These include CBT, Gestalt, Transactional Analysis and Psychodynamic models and therapeutic skills. I believe myself, and many clients have also told me this, to have an empathic understanding of where people are in their lives and intuitively know how to facilitate their healing, change and growth.
