Therapeutic Approach
A More Active Approach to Therapy
Therapy can offer more than a space to talk.
My approach combines thoughtful exploration with critical thinking, helping you examine experiences, recurring patterns, assumptions and ways of responding.
Where appropriate, I may question or challenge perspectives that could be keeping you stuck, while helping you consider different ways forward.
I work integratively, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other therapeutic approaches according to your needs.
About Your Therapist
Counselling Psychologist providing private therapy for individuals, couples and families.
My work combines psychological understanding with practical therapeutic exploration, offering a professional environment where difficult thoughts, experiences and relationship patterns can be examined openly.
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the person rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach.
