MY APPROACH
I value each person's uniqueness and respond in an individual way to your circumstances. I recognise that no one theory holds the truth, and that deep and lasting change is possible at any stage of life. Therapy is not an exact science. My experience and training includes working with a range of approaches and strategies. Most people have found that our way of working together and the quality of the therapeutic relationship is the most important factor. Many also value talking to someone independent, without a vested interest or preconceptions.
I aim to bring clarity and sensitivity to my work with warmth and humour, together with my passionate beliefs of self-determination and responsibility.
