Introduction
I am an integrative psychotherapist providing heartfelt therapy in private practice in person and online. The aims of therapy are always client-led and my emphasis is on creating an empathic, safe space for you to nurture self-awareness, explore, resolve or reconcile with troubling or distressing feelings and experiences.
My therapeutic approach is underpinned by attachment theory, which provides insight into and understanding of a persons relational development and world view. Humanistic approaches create the conditions in which healing, growth and change may occur, and Rogers core conditions of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard are at the heart of my work.
I work in a holistic way to honour mind and body connection. I am a qualified yoga teacher and, where appropriate, I integrate techniques, including breathwork and guided meditation, to help clients manage symptoms, such as heightened anxiety or panic attacks, and create a space where clients feel they can explore their bodys cues safely. These techniques can also help to provide people with the space and mind-body connection that helps catalyse deeper self-exploration and discovery in talking therapy.
