We can also address concerns which may arise during a period of significant change in their lives — such as career change, becoming a parent, menopause and retirement — or when they may feel stuck or lost.
As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I believe everyone is unique and draw on a number of theories and approaches to best suit the needs of the individual.
My approach is holistic, so I will take into account the personal, physical, social and spiritual dimensions of life.
Therapy can combine more practical tools, skills and psychoeducation with deeper psychological and philosophical exploration.
Through an understanding of how the past may be playing out in the present, we can gain deeper insight into how this may be impacting our relationships and our experiences of life.
As we begin to make sense of our emotions, feelings, thoughts and our relationships to others, we can start to make more informed choices. This process can help bring about change, promotes balance and encourages autonomy.
Therapy can be hugely cathartic and healing, at times it can be challenging and it can also involve humour and laughter too.
