My Approach
Using an integrative approach means I believe that no single therapeutic model is more effective than all others. I prefer to relate to individuals as they present in the moment, rather than requiring either of us to conform to a single model.
I hold the basic assumption that the body and mind are not separate entities; when we work on one part we positively affect the other. Thinking, Feeling and Being are important aspects of our human experience and integrative therapy aims to give respect and value to each.
I believe that working Integratively opens the door to a two-way dialogue that facilitates the development of a mutually created relationship. Through this relationship, based on mutual trust and respect, integrative psychotherapy aims to help you:
Identify underlying assumptions, patterns and themes of your view of the world and yourself in it to help you recognise your strengths and talents
Make decisions differently about the way you may respond to life challenges and changes
Improve communication with those close to you.
Create new meaning and purpose in the way you experience your life

Aim
The aim of our meetings is to provide a confidential and safe environment where a relationship can emerge between us to help you share and explore the emotional issues that may be of current concern to you. Through this relationship we will explore issues together at a pace that feels comfortable to you.
At the initial session we will discuss what it is that brought you to seek therapy and agree if it is appropriate for us to work together. You will have an opportunity to assess whether or not the way I work feels helpful to you, and if not, we can discuss alternative options.
Sessions
Each session of individual counselling lasts for 50 minutes, the number of sessions depends on the needs of the individual. Sessions are normally weekly at a mutually agreed time each week. All sessions are fully confidential and comply with the BACP ethical framework.
Fees
I offer an initial appointment free of charge following which my fees are on a sliding scale of between £25 to £40 per session.
