Individual Psychotherapy & Counselling

Welcome to my practice, where I am dedicated to guiding individuals through their unique journeys towards mental and emotional well-being. My approach is firmly rooted in person-centred humanistic therapy, ensuring that every client feels heard, valued, and supported in a safe, non-judgemental environment.

Person-Centred Humanistic Foundation

At the core of my practice is the belief that every individual has the innate capacity for growth, self-discovery, and healing. My person-centred humanistic foundation places you, the client, at the centre of the therapeutic process. I believe that by providing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine understanding, I can help you tap into your inner resources and foster personal development.

Integrative Approach

While my foundation is in person-centred therapy, I recognise that each person's needs are unique and that one size does not fit all. Therefore, I adopt an integrative approach, drawing from various therapeutic modalities to tailor my methods to your specific situation. Some of the key approaches I incorporate include:

Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT): To help you identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviours, fostering more adaptive ways of thinking and acting.

Transactional Analysis (TA): To explore and understand your communication patterns and relationships, helping you improve your interactions and resolve conflicts.

Mindfulness Techniques: To enhance your awareness and presence, reducing stress and promoting emotional regulation.

Psychoanalytic Theory: To delve into the unconscious factors influencing your behaviour, providing deeper insights into your motivations and conflicts.

Areas of Specialisation:

I work with individuals facing a wide range of difficulties and distress, including:

Anxiety and Depression:

Offering strategies and support to manage symptoms and build resilience.

Addiction:

Helping you navigate the challenges of addiction and work towards recovery and a healthier lifestyle.

Compassionate Guidance

My role as your counsellor and psychotherapist is to walk alongside you, offering compassionate guidance and support. I strive to create a collaborative therapeutic relationship where you feel empowered to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Together, we will work towards achieving your personal goals, fostering self-acceptance, and cultivating a more fulfilling and balanced life.
