My Therapeutic Approach

Honouring individual differences means I tailor my therapeutic approach to each individual client whilst prioritise evidence-based, trauma-informed practice.

My work is also informed by mindfulness and somatic principles as I look at the whole person, body and mind.

Psychometric assessment is another key component of my practice and helps to inform therapy goals and monitor progress.

  • CBT looks at the relationship between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviour. Identifying unhelpful patterns can support meaningful change.

  • ACT can help to develop psychological flexibility through learning to accept difficult or uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Mindfulness, curiosity, and your personal values are central to this approach.

  • This framework considers how your emotional bonds with your primary caregivers early in life may impact your current relationships.

  • Narrative therapy can help you separate your core person and identity from your experiences and challenges. This approach can support you in challenging or rewriting unhelpful self narratives and beliefs.

  • IPT is a short-term, structured talk therapy approach which considers your interpersonal relationships and their impact on your mood and wellbeing.

  • Solution-Focused Therapy is a short-term goal-directed approach to therapy which focuses on developing skills and practical solutions.
