How I can help

Integrative therapy is a way of meeting the needs of the individual through a holistic approach to therapy. This involves combining ideas and techniques from different therapeutic schools such as person centred, psychodynamic and gestalt therapy. However, this is all dependent on what your needs maybe.  How this works in practice is that it enables me to offer a more flexible and inclusive approach to treatment than those practitioners who practice one singular form.  

In addition to seeing my clients in a therapy room, at their home or online, I’ve introduced walk and talk therapy to my integrative practice. The benefit of this approach is that when we move our bodies and change our environment, we create a space in which we can think differently.  Being outdoors provides a more relaxing experience for our bodies and enables our minds to feel free to be more open.  How I deliver the sessions can take place over long or short term therapy.  

Most of my work focuses on anxiety, depression, relationships, bereavement, complex trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, sexual abuse, historical abuse and culturally related issues.  The holistic approach aspires to consider your mental, physical, and emotional health needs in a unified way. This is done by working together to understand the sources of your anxiety, unhappiness, physical discomfort, or unhealthy behaviour patterns. My work with you will be a partnership in that you will have a voice in the direction of your therapy and that this is done by working within the BACP Ethical Framework.
