I’m an Integrative Relational Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience. The essence of my practice is 'person-centred' in that I am always led by the client's needs as presented to me. In this way 'therapy' is always grounded in the trans-formative power of trusting and collaborative relationships. Our work together should then stand as an open invitation to go beyond our sense of limitation and to help establish a greater sense of well-being, meaningful identity and purpose.
My practice is also 'trauma Informed' in that our presenting problems are often linked to the underlying effects of prior/present trauma. Such trauma can be healed through 'present-centred' body awareness that may incorporate a mindful practice coupled with a reflective dialogue to reframe meaning and direction to our lives.
Alongside our need for empathic connection the mindfulness element of my practice is seen 'merely' as 'intentional awareness' which experience shows can be applied from moment-to-moment to help us to see our patterns of 'stuckness' - at the heart of many problems - and to move beyond them. To be better placed to envision a 'solution' that we can embrace.
