I have worked with many individuals over the last 24 years with a wide range of problems. My work tends to suit people who are naturally questioning and curious: about life, about themselves, and others. I am happy to work in a focused short term way through to longer term therapy. I work in an integrative way, which involves ideas from different approaches, and I have an interest in the existential dimensions of therapy: meaning and purpose, anxiety and uncertainty, values, freedom and responsibility and the idea of authenticity. My experience is in helping individuals find and create their own ways forward.
I always work in a way that respects an individual's values and beliefs; I do not put pressure on others to do, say, or be, anything in particular. While I encourage people to take the lead in therapy I would describe myself as actively involved in the therapeutic process; I work alongside people and always in reference to their own goals and understanding.
I always endeavour to provide a safe, supportive and accepting space to explore issues, gain clarity and insight, and ideas on how to move forwards.
