The Integrative Approach
As individuals we all experience the world in our own unique way therefore, I believe we need to approach therapy recognising and valuing this uniqueness and choose the approaches and techniques most able to help support and move the client towards positive change in the problems they are facing. My aim is that we work together to find what works best for you and to create an environment where you feel safe to discover and be your true self.
The therapeutic approaches I refer to include Attachment, Person Centred, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and, Compassionate Focused Therapy. I frequently include psycho-education within the sessions about how the brain works and the theory behind the approaches we use. I also draw upon visualisation and sensory techniques to focus on how our body feels in response to our mind; these techniques can be highly effective in helping heal the impact of trauma, manage anxiety and depression, and build resilience.
