My way of working is technically known as integrative. This means that instead of training in just one approach I have trained extensively in several and can use whichever seems most useful for you. It involves looking at the present problems (what is going on at the moment) and at underlying issues (that may relate to early messages you took on board about the world, relationships, and how you felt you ‘should’ be). The aim is for you to understand yourself better, to make changes to your life that are more productive and rewarding, and to help you move towards becoming the kind of person you want to be.

This approach has developed from my years of training, my later work as a senior tutor on counselling and therapy courses, my extensive work with counselling organisations and, most of all, my work with hundreds of clients since 1985. It has also been shaped by my life experiences and my own personal journey as a client in therapy.
