My psychotherapeutic approach is very client-centred, focused on what is best suited to the client's presenting problem. I work with a strong focus on the therapeutic relationship positioned within a psychoanalytic framework. I do offer behaviour-focused approaches (e.g. CBT, DBT, SFT, ACT), however, these are only applied where needed.
