About me and my therapy practice
Hello
I am an integrative therapist which means I tailor the type of therapy I use to meet my client's particular needs. I am fully qualified to work with adults and young people and offer face-face sessions locally in Christchurch, or on-line. I am a registered member of the BACP.
Choosing a therapist can feel daunting and confusing, and in response I offer a warm, friendly and non-judgemental approach, helping my clients safely explore what is causing them distress or holding them back. I offer short -term therapy (6-12 sessions), where clients can work on specific areas of their lives which they'd like to change, or longer term therapy for further exploration of areas of our lives we continue to find challenging.
Practice description
My practice is rooted in the belief that building a relationship is the key to feeling heard and understood. I try to meet my clients where they are at and always without judgement. I offer a confidential space where you are able to work through areas of your life which you may be finding overwhelming or distressing.
As an integrative therapist, I will work at your pace, exploring what you bring to the session but also collaborate to look at how present problems or patterns of behaviour may be rooted in past experiences. By gently examining the past, we can then seek to change negative patterns and encourage different ways of approaching problems.
Some of the areas I work with are bereavement, anxiety, depression, workplace stress, identity, neurodiversity, childhood abuse and trauma.
I have substantial experience working with young people and the particular issues they face today.
My first session
After your initial email or phone contact with me, I will get back to you to organise an introductory phone call (approx 20 mins), where you can briefly outline what has brought you to therapy and decide whether my approach is going to suit you.
Should you wish to proceed, we will also discuss session costs, and find a time and date for your first 50 minute therapy session.
