My approach

My work is underpinned by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy; however, being a counselling psychologist allows me to take a pluralistic stance allowing me to be competent in more than one modality. I see this feature as being very valuable permitting flexibility for treating each client in a way which is most suitable to their needs. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults. I work very relational and collaboratively to create a trustworthy and respectful therapeutic alliance. My approach endorses counselling psychology’s emphasis of the relational stance. I understand that we all are different and will respond to life adversities and challenges differently due to our beliefs and assumptions about ourselves and others. Therefore, I will work collaboratively with you to find the best approach to help you gain insight and challenge established ways of thinking to help work towards change and feeling empowered in our choices about the future.
