My Services

I have been seeing clients since 2002. I think a lot about therapy and how I can be the best help to people who are going through tough times. I have learnt many different evidence-based therapies. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioural approaches, Play Therapies, Solution focused and Narrative approaches, Trauma and Attachment-based approaches, and Family Therapy, just to name a few.

 

Based on the research on therapy, what I have learnt is that the alliance between us is critical for any change to occur (which means I work hard to make therapy fit your needs and preferences). We will develop shared goals and form an approach that will fit with your hopes for therapy. I use a research-based feedback approach (Feedback Informed Treatment, Miller and colleagues, 2012) in which I regularly monitor progress and alliance, in order to ensure that the therapy is meeting your needs. This also informs me when therapy is not progressing as expected, which allows me to change parts of the process to get us back on track.

​

I see people of all ages, as I appreciate the lessons of life that come from young children through to the elderly. We all have in us a wise elder who knows the truth when given the time and attention. I am able to work in a variety of ways, from seeing clients’ individually to seeing whole families together in order to work on resolving issues.
