Treatment Approach

Types of Therapy

Emotionally Focused
Gottman Method
Integrative
Person-Centred
Play Therapy
Somatic
Trauma Focused
TRE (Tension Trauma Release) Exercises

I use an integrative approach, but especially focus on a person-centred, trauma-informed approach. Each case calls for its own approach and research, so I really do a lot of pre-work. Ensuring a safe space for exploration and insights to blossom is a key focus. Approach influenced by: Sexology, TRE, Gottman, RLT, IMAGO, Access Bars
