My Approach
My way of working draws on both the Person-Centred and Psychodynamic approaches to therapy.
I believe that you have inborn value and that you are best placed to understand yourself and your experiences. My role is to support you to make sense of things and get to where you want to be. I also believe that the things you think or do without thinking can tell us about hidden parts of yourself, and that your relationship with a therapist can show how you relate to other people in your life.
I believe that we are shaped by our environment.
This means that we can lose touch with our true self, leaving us feeling uncertain or incomplete.
Our learned thoughts and behaviours can also sometimes have a negative impact on our lives. Understanding the role of our influences and experiences in our development can help us connect to our true self. The qualities of the relationship with our therapist, and the work done within this partnership, can help us to do this.
