About
I use an integrative approach - tailoring the therapy to my client's needs, and not the client to one specific approach. I am fully qualified and experienced in both short-term and long-term face-to-face Psychotherapy. I also offer telephone and online counselling to those who may feel uncomfortable with the idea of face to face therapy. I create a good therapeutic relationship with each client, normalising individuality in a comfortable space. I work in a completely confidential, non-judgemental, fair and equal manner. The foundation of my approach is humanistic, with the purpose of increasing the client's feelings of self-worth, reducing the level of incongruence between their ideal and actual self. I apply three basic principles in every session with my clients: Congruence - genuineness Unconditional positive regard - accepting the client as a whole Empathy - understanding the client from their frame of reference
