My mode of therapy is psychodynamic, based on Freudian psychoanalysis, where a basic, central, premise was his view of the mind. Freud’s belief intimated that some of what we experience on a day-to-day basis e.g. emotions, beliefs and impulses; takes place in the unconscious and is not available to the conscious mind. Similarly, my belief, is that the unconscious mind governs behaviour to a much greater degree than people suspect and my therapy involves deep exploration of clients’ past to access, and understand, the root cause of their problems. The emphasis of psychodynamic therapy is on the trust between client and therapist.
Therapy provides the tools required to make progress and, our therapeutic, relationship, alliance, provides a safe space to explore, and come to understand, the root cause of problems and issues. Behavioural and psychological research includes: MBACP - BACP registered: PG Cert SPI: BSc Psych: FD Couns: TCL4 Dip Couns: Accredited RNIB Therapist
My interest in our human need to change behaviours, that we deem unacceptable or undesirable, has been longstanding. I began my study in the field of psychology - child psychology; social psychology; biological psychology; and cognitive psychology. This was alongside a Samaritan volunteer position. Then more intensive study in counselling ensued.
