At this point in time, you may want to be supported in a safe environment where you can work through the difficult thoughts and feelings that you are experiencing. Issues that I work with include stress, anxiety, anger, depression, physical illness (including health issues/addiction), grief/loss, and relationships.
My approach is eclectic; evidence-based, person-centred and influenced by Buddhism and yoga philosophy. Depending on what arises in the course of our sessions, we might work together using mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT or Narrative Therapy.
In person-centred therapy, each person is regarded as unique, like trees in a forest, or even the leaves from the same tree. Every one is subject to a myriad of factors and we all manifest differently, but we all have an urge to thrive, no matter how difficult the circumstances.
