What I Do

I work mainly online but have some capacity for 1-1 work.

I work with a range of issues including:

Anxiety-

Depression.

Loss of Purpose and Meaning.

Alcohol

Relationship problems.

I do couples work with the individual - and this is based on the concept that when we change ourselves, the world around us changes- including people. I use David Burn’s communication tools and Skills which are extremely powerful as evidenced in my own life, and those of my clients.

Inner child work

Whilst we may be adults on the outside, on the inside you may feel younger- like there are parts of you that haven’t quite grown up. In psychotherapy this is called ‘Inner Child’ work. I love doing this work because the recovery is rapid, profound and life changing.

Working together, we will recognise, affirm, and give voice to these parts that have hitherto maybe been shrouded in shame, dissociation, pain and anger. This process will give you more confidence, better self regulation, and more ability to handle challenges.  You will develop greater self compassion, and learn to extend to yourself some of the care and respect you may already show others.

My Approach.

I use goal setting in all my work, from the outset, as this helps me help you keep on track with where you want to be going.

I interweave different tools from the different disciplines I have been trained in: Motivational Interviewing: Person-Centred Psychotherapy: TEAM CBT: REBT: Transactional Analysis: Psychodynamic approaches. I also integrate Positive Psychology as this supports movement beyond problems and surviving, to a place of flourishing and happiness .
