My Approach to counselling and psychotherapy

I am an integrative psychotherapist. In practice this means I work with the whole person and I draw upon a range of traditions and approaches that are  helpful in understanding and working with clients

Important traditions for me include those which offer insights into early attachments, our views of ourselves, and our ways of relating to ourselves and others

Practical ways of working that are part of my practice include:

• the importance of respecting clients as individuals.
• the development of a clear treatment approach.
• the use of a range of techniques drawn from best practice in counselling and therapy.

Like many traditions of counselling and therapy my integrative approach emphasises the importance of the quality of the relationship between the client and the counsellor
