Therapeutic Approach
Many people experience relief when they have someone to listen to them when facing life and events that feel difficult or overwhelming. Especially if we don’t feel able to share what is concerning us or what we are feeling with other people (family or friends) in our lives.
Psychotherapy provides a supportive and confidential space in which you can explore how you feel, think, and behave with a professional who listens deeply to what you have to say. There are lots of different sorts of psychotherapy and counselling. It is important to think about what you need and what you think will work for you.
I qualified as a psychotherapist in 1999 and continue to update my knowledge and skills through professional development activities. In recent years I have completed training in Person-Centered Expressive Arts Therapy, Online and Telephone Counselling, Somatic Trauma Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I am an experienced and kind therapist committed to supporting you to explore, question, and at times, challenge, yourself to change in ways that work for you. I work within my professional bodies ethical guidelines which you can access through the PBANZ website.
I work with adults focusing on a wide range of issues including:
Their past.
Their identity.
Their mental and/or physical health.
Their relationships.
Their choices.
Therapeutic Approach
I work in an integrated way which means I use different approaches to work in a way that is unique to you.
Examples of things we might explore together are:
Your relationship with yourself
How you think and feel about yourself.
Your relationship with others
How you interact with those around you.
Your childhood
Looking back can support you to move forward.
Your emotions
Exploring how you experience and express your emotions.
How you communicate
What works and what doesn’t work for you.
How you live your life
What you can change and what you can’t.
Surviving in an unequal society
How power operates in your life. What are your choices?
Loss and Grief
The death of loved ones or other life events.
How you adapt after addiction
Empowering yourself to get past your past.
