My approach

As a Person centred Psychotherapist, I believe we are our own best expert on ourselves.  And that we have huge potential for growth, change, and healing throughout our lives with our environments being central to this.  Right from birth we are hardwired for relationships and continuously shaped by and within them and our unique experiences of the world.  Our need is such that it can often mean that we can deny or discount aspects of ourselves in order to feel acceptable to others especially as children.

We can have amazing abilities for resilience and to adapt and creatively survive, even in the most difficult conditions and circumstance.  But we can sometimes become stuck in ways of being and patterns of relating and coping that are no longer helpful to us. 

Central to my Person centred approach is aiming to create a safe, empathic, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where you may feel heard, seen and supported to grow in your own direction, at your own pace.  Research has shown that it is not the approach of psychotherapy that is the predictor of greatest change but the quality of the therapeutic relationship.

Alongside this I use a creative approach drawing on and integrating many different approaches and theories as appropriate to best suit your specific needs and goals, always working collaboratively with you.
