About me and my therapy practice

'When the other person is hurting, confused, troubled, anxious, alienated, terrified; or when he or she is doubtful of self-worth, uncertain as to identity, then understanding is called for. The gentle and sensitive companionship of an empathic stance… provides illumination and healing. In such situations deep understanding is, I believe, the most precious gift one can give to another.'

Carl Rogers.

The above Carl Rogers quote describes how I begin working with clients.

I then tailor my approach to unique issues addressing all aspects of the client from emotional, social, mind and spiritual.

This is known as Integrative counselling which uses Person-centered, Psychodynamic and CBT approaches in combination with others.
