Like many therapists, I employ an integrative approach to counselling, valuing your unique life situation over a cookie-cutter therapy approach. I draw from various therapeutic techniques and disciplines to plan for your specific needs. However, if you prefer a certain therapy style, I'm happy for your preferences to guide our work.
