Approach

Systemic Psychotherapy recognises that we live our lives in relationship to one another and that often our thoughts, behaviours and difficulties can be better understood within the context of these relationships.

I use narrative therapy techniques, which allow you to explore the stories and meanings that you assign to your life and experiences.

I always create a non-judgemental collaborative space where your unique story is honoured.  Together we can work towards understanding the complexities in your life while empowering you to rewrite the narratives that will align more fully with your desired future.

Experience & Areas of Interest

Individuals: Anxiety, depression, trauma, self-worth, grief, relationship difficulties, adverse childhood experiences, identity / gender exploration.  Experienced in working with those in the arts and creative industries.

Couples: Communication, conflict, infidelity, intimacy, future goals. I practice GSRD affirming relationship therapy where you can feel comfortable knowing that your way of doing relationships is affirmed and respected.

Families: Communication difficulties, illness diagnosis, gender and sexuality exploration, separation, support for family member going through difficulties.

Parents:  I offer parenting support as an NVR practitioner.  This approach gives parents the tools to take positive action and end challenging behaviour in the home.  It helps to improve and rebuild strained relationships with children / young people in a calm way while supporting the child to regulate their emotions.
