About the Therapist

About the therapist:

My approach to counselling and psychotherapy is integrative - this means I use different perspectives and theories to draw on when working with you and adapt my approach to suit your changing needs. The main therapeutic modalities I draw upon are psychodynamic psychotherapy, acceptance commitment therapy, mindfulness-based cognitive behavioural therapy, somatic experiencing therapy, narrative therapy, systems therapy and schema therapy.
