How I can help
Psychotherapy and counselling
You are unique and our time together will be unique too. Over the years I have mastered a psychotherapeutic approach that is underpinned with compassionate-based inquiry. You are at the centre of the work, and my role is more like that of a professional guide, to help you take direction in getting to know your self, and letting go of what is not you. My work does not follow a standard blue print for life - after all, it is your life to live.
We will work collaboratively, in a special partnership that truly values who you are. My extensive training in a range of modern and traditional disciplines means that I consider a person's body, mind and spirit when providing the right help at the right time, in a way that's right for you. Some of the terms that can be used to describe aspects of my work include:- person-centered, active listening, compassionate-based inquiry, reflection, reframing, motivational, visualisation, meditation, constructive, breathwork, mindfulness, psychosynthesis, internal family systems, and somatic methods.
Action-focused coaching
Unlike most psychotherapists and counsellors, I am also a trained coach. Initially, I provided coaching as a separate approach to help people overcome particular problems or experiences, and move forward in their lives. However, my experience shows that much more fundamental, and longer-lasting impact can be achieved when coaching is combined within a psychotherapy/counselling framework. In other words, my work is truly integrative across a range of disciplines, theories, and professions and the boundaries between psychotherapy, counselling and coaching become non-distinct. My focus in on providing the most appropriate effective care and support for you, in my therapy role, rather than adhering to generic text-book models of care.
