I am a BACP Registered Integrative Counsellor and mainly practice Intensive Short Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP). ISTDP is an emotion-focused, trauma-informed and attachment-based approach with very positive research outcomes. Some people begin therapy clear about what they want help with, others need some assistance in understanding their difficulty. I provide a safe space for clients to better understand their behaviour and experiences by making links between the present difficulty and the past. We also work together in the session to help you explore new ways of relating to yourself and your problem.
I am interesting in the body and our relationship with our physical selves, including how emotions and anxiety manifest physically. With compassion, I encourage clients to attend to their feelings safely. As a result they experience more self-understanding and more choice in terms of how they respond to situations and to themselves in the present.
Beginning therapy can be scary, but it is often the beginning of many positive choices clients make for themselves. You can email, call or text to ask me more questions. I offer a complimentary initial session which is commitment-free so you can meet me and see how I work before committing to any paid sessions.
