About the therapist:

Deciding to see a counsellor is an important decision, giving you an opportunity to step out of everyday life, reflect on events, and speak to a professional who can help you make sense out of what is going on.

Experience and approach:

As an integrative therapist, (MA, MBACP), I encompass a range of perspectives and consider: patterns of thought / behaviour; childhood experiences; our creative ‘self’; the rhythm and tone of our relationship; and where you may be holding tension in your body. At the heart of the process is how you relate: to yourself, to significant others, and to the world around you. I pay attention to your body / mind connection and believe when both are in harmony, greater awareness and compassion to your experience can be achieved. The transpersonal approach recognises the journey of one’s soul and we can explore expression and possibilities on a deeper level. I believe the therapeutic process is one of creativity, discovery and exploration and am interested in any written reflections, images, metaphors, dreams etc.. that you wish to share. Experience
