Therapeutic Model

My therapeutic model is integrative which means I draw on a number of different models to inform and deliver therapy with my clients. My core philosophy for therapy comes from the psychodynamic field of psychology and the importance of the therapeutic relationship in bringing about change. In therapy with my clients, I draw on an integration of CBT, ACT, DBT and CFT and tailor the therapy to my client’s needs.

In My Own Words

I love working with a great team of therapists who all have different specialisms and modalities. Sharing our experiences and learning from each other is so valuable. I also enjoy the variety of the therapy work. Each person is so different and they have a high level of motivation to change and overcome their problems. Being part of this change is very rewarding.
