How I work
Experience means I approach every client as unique in their personality and needs, and that while one therapeutic approach may be very helpful for a particular client, for another it might not be. I am trained in Integrative, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and Mentalisation Based Therapy (MBT) and am informed by affective neuroscience, which enables me work flexibly in a way best suited to each client; for example, providing plenty of space for you to tell your story, placing a greater or lesser emphasis on your childhood, using more or less structured thinking and diagrams, or perhaps trying gentle but effective behavioural experiments or body based regulatory techniques.
I work in an informal, warm, supportive and open way, making sure your voice is heard and respected and that you come to understand yourself; your needs, conflicts, anxieties, defences, and relational patterns on a much deeper level, enabling you to explore alternative ways of being and relating, to help bring you greater satisfaction and stability.
I believe that it is important that you understand the therapeutic process and your progress and so I regularly offer and invite feedback. While I can and do offer short-term help, I find working longer term with periodic reviews can be more effective in creating lasting change. If in our initial assessment session we agree that your needs would benefit from a particular alternative approach, I will offer you the option of a referral to an established and trusted colleague.
