About me and my therapy practice

I offer short or longer term Psychological therapy and counselling. I work with clients on an individual level using Person Centred, CBT and Psychodynamic approaches.  I tailor each approach according to my client's needs. In order to effectively explore with them the issues they present in therapy and to make positive changes. Working with the above models allows me to adapt each approach to clients' needs as well as being integrative when it would best meet my clients goals and expectations.
