As an integrative therapist, I draw from multiple models of therapy to create a unique way of practising which helps me build up our relationship. I’ve refined these as a result of my training and what worked for me in personal therapy - so I have lived experience of their effectiveness.

Primarily, I work with a blend of Person-centred Therapy, Compassion-focused Therapy and Attachment Theory. Below, I’ve briefly outlined what each of these three models will look like in practice in our sessions:

Person-centred Therapy: You will be in the driving seat for your therapy; we will go wherever you want to go at a pace that you dictate. My goal is to understand what it’s like to be you, to see what life looks like through your eyes and view it without judgement. You understand your circumstances better than anyone and are the best person to identify the changes needed - I’m here to help you uncover them.

Compassion-focused Therapy: If you’re a person who can be self-critical or struggles with shame, we can look at where that critical voice has come from, what it might be doing for you (both good and bad) and how we can bring greater balance to your emotions.

Attachment Theory: We can look at your core relationships growing up and how they might be impacting your life and relationships today. Once we understand this, we can explore any unhealthy patterns and how you might be able to repair them.

All of this combines into an experience that I hope you will find as challenging as it is reassuring, empowering as it is vulnerable and transformative as it is grounding.
