Services 

I work as a Psychotherapist, Counselor and Clinical Supervisor.  As a  Psychotherapist my work is about  helping individual clients to achieve greater self-understanding, and to change long-standing patterns of behavior that may be disrupting their relationships etc. I also see clients shorter term for Counselling about specific issues (this is usually for a set number of sessions). When working as a Supervisor I am keen to assist the Supervisee in developing their individual way of working with their clients, and guiding them in all aspects of becoming an effective therapist.

My individual work is about building a relationship with the client which allows us to work together as a team. I work with both adults and adolescents. We work through the presenting issues in a way that assists the client to a place of understanding about themselves and others. I believe that the past is alive in the present and the therapeutic discussions will often shift from past to present issues with the client. Sometimes, the client will learn about their extended family relationships and how these have contributed to who they are. Together we will explore the inner world of the client and gain understanding of the behaviors, thoughts, memories, and emotions that drive the presenting issues. Each session is uniquely tailored to the client as an individual and their needs. We explore the unknown within the person, learn from it, and shift and grow into a place of understanding. I also work with couples about relationship issues.

 The therapy methods that I practice are Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Object-relations, Attachment theory and Imago Relationship Therapy. I also consider Family Systems theory (Bowen) and Schema therapy when assessing and working with client histories. When working as a Counselor I work mainly Solution-Focused. Additionally, my previous work experience in the fields of corporate and education,  has assisted to deepen my understanding of the client work related issues that can arise when one is working in these areas. The key concepts that I work with are explained in detail on my Instagram account.
