I offer face to face, online and telephone integrative individual therapy. I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgmental space to explore those issues that you would like to address respecting the privacy of those issues that you do not wish to bring into therapy. I combine a range of modalities linked to my experience both in education and psychotherapy. I draw on a range of techniques suited to your individual needs to support therapy having been trained and gained experience in integrative eclectic approaches. Primarily this includes:
- Creative therapies (crafts, activities, games)
- Cognitive – mindful recognition, acceptance and challenge of thoughts, emotions, behaviors and core beliefs
- Mindful awareness of somatic physical impact – meditation/breathing activities
- Person Centered – encouraging your connection to your own insights and strengths
- Psychodynamic – seeking possible connections with known and unknown events (often stemming in childhood) that impact core beliefs and values. We can discuss dreams if this is an issue that you would like to address.
- Existentialism – confronting the anxieties that arise with the inevitability of death and isolation. Accepting free will, choice and the consequences, accountability and responsibilities that accompany this.
- Solution focused therapy – drawing on acceptance of self and commitment to helpful coping strategies and goals. Focusing on positive reframing and encouraging positive affirmations.
